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.

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.
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

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.
Hello,
I've ordered a 3.200mAh Battery from Mugen Power.
Now the Phone thickness increases to 23mm, so the original case doesn't fit.
Is there a case like the original for this brick?
Regards
Wiesel
Sorry for out-of-topic question - but how long does this battery last after full charge? -Thanks.
"PLEASE NOTE THIS BATTERY INCREASES THE THICKNESS OF THE DEVICE TO 23mm.
REPLACEMENT BATTERY COVER IS INCLUDED. "
So you don't have to order another one, isn't it? ^^"
My current stock battery lasts for about 2.5 days. If the above mentioned battery lasts for about a week I would definitely consider buying one and keep the stock battery as a backup
but the price is crazy..$96?!?
I hope somebody can review a yoobao 2200mah.
The battery arrived, few minutes ago.
So I can give some statement in a couple of days.
Mugen is very expensive, but the batteries are high quallity.
I have a three years old 3300mAh in my tytn and have power for over a week
with bt on and mutch sufring on it.
hi,
Can you please let us know the results with your new battery?
sweet I would have loved that much juice in my toy too!! I can't wait for batteries powered by nuclearity! (there are those now, read it in a magazine) They can actually make them much tinier yet safe enough for daily use.. hell, even the older pacemakers were powerd by splitting atoms
BATTERY
The battery will come with a new back cover included
DasWiesel, do you recommend this battery? is it worth the $100? how much longer battery life are you getting out of it as opposed to the original battery? is the extended thickness noticeable by a lot? do you like chocolate chip cookies? oh sorry let's just stick to the subject
isn't it very heavy????
it seems the phone will be like a brick! no?
I should buy one battery...
see here 2200 mAH
it contains back cover too...
please write a review here...
thanks
http://www.superetrader.co.uk/extended-battery-for-htc-touch-diamond-2200mah-p-4207.html
devices with new batteries are all bricked or are there actually some results on the duration?
I just purchased the Mugen 3200mah battery for my HTC Pure. With the original battery, I'd get 15 hours of moderate use. I'm now on my second charge on the Mugen and it looks like it will run for 30 hours. That means even with heavy use, I can easily get a full work day out of it. Weight with the new battery - 5.4oz (155g). That's up from the original 4.15oz (117g).
Update = after 24 hours, the battery is still going strong and is at 49%. So looks like it will run for more like 2 days in moderate use !
2nd update = After 49 hours, the battery is at 2% and I'm going to recharge it. So, 2 days of moderate use !
As to size and weight, I previously had the AT&T 8125 and 8525 (HTC Wizard and Hermes) and the HTC Pure with the extended battery is about the same size and weight as these. So, I don't have the hardware keyboard those units had, but I do have a phone that will last through a day of even high use (push mail, web use, phone calls, etc.) ! Worth it for me.

i too just purchased the mugen 3200mah and have one question. on their website it say's that it's for the t5353 (touch diamond 2) and does not mention the st6356 (at&t pure). i know they are both the same phone, however, after seeing pictures of the t5353 back cover, it looks like it covers the entire back of the phone from top to bottom, while the st6356 has a back cover that only goes three quarters of the way down. did i just pay $100 for nothing or will the back cover fit just fine?

The back covers do look quite different so I can't say. I bought the mugen for the HTC Pure - http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-3200mAh-MUG...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item45f022bfc9
I recommended this battery to a friend and she got one as well from eBay and loves it. She was going to pitch the phone and buy an iPhone till I got her to upgrade the battery and then installed an Energy Rom for her.
i just saw some more pictures and yes, they are different. so the question now is, is it possible to buy just the mugen back cover for the pure without the battery?
[edit]
never mind that. naked cell phones from ebay offered to sell me the back cover alone for $11.99. but there was no need since mugen power batteries were kind enough to cancel my order. so i purchased the whole thing and received it today. i hope it's as good as everyone claims.
Can somebody post a picture of his Topaz and the mugen some that I can get a expression about the new look?
Looking for an extended battery that fits in the OEM battery socket, using the original backdoor.
Does anyone know a good quality battery like that?
UPDATE: Ok, after doing my research I went for Mugen's 3350mAh one.
Reasons:
- I'm an electrical engineer and I hardly believe that you can add extra 1000mAh to the same size battery as MPJ claims and sell it for 19$ - that reminds me of my experience with cheap batteries on eBay (They remove the original label from expired batteries, put a fake and sell for cheap money). There is simply no such technology out there. I bet, Texas Instruments would instantly publish such stuff on Gigaom and it would be Breaking news.
- Mugen seems to be a respected brand among tech reviewers. I found reviews about them on Pocketnow, Engadget and Android Community.
No. Not gonna happen.

Too many times these batteries bigger than Samsung put out as OEM are proven to be les than advertised or even die quicker than stock. I'm not optimistic about it but i'm definetly awaiting your review.

Did some research also n it seems great...but i am considering the 8500mah one now.
Any "extended" battery that fits with a stock battery door will only give you a few minutes more of operation if the advertised capacity is true. I would guess it would offer you less than thirty minutes more. Not worth the money. With all the standard extended batteries I've owned, that needed a custom battery door cover, gave 1.5x more run time at the very most. More times than not, two OEM batteries lasted much longer than the extended. Unless you are willing to talk about zerolemon batteries, then I would say it's a waste of money and time. Most ratings of these extended batteries are exaggerated greatly. You're lucky if you get 1.25x more uptime when compared to OEM. The quality of OEM cells are much better than third party batteries. Zerolemon might give you close to 2x more runtime, but they still aren't as much quality and have as much life, over the long run, as an official OEM battery. To get an "extended" battery that fits a stock battery door is a waste of money. The increase of run time is hardly noticeable to make the purchase worth spending the money on.

What you say is true if only I'd get this battery and only use it, however I get it to swap with original because I don't want to alter the design of the phone. So once my original is showing low charge I swap it with the new one, so I don't think it's a waste of money.
Zerolemon is not my choice in the end - I checked them online and was not impressed. Does not look professional. I went for Mugen, because according to the feedback from respected tech sites their quality is very good.
OP you should keep in mind that these batteries are not quality tested like the original one's are, and they might catch fire and hurt you.
There have been several cases of phones catching fire or blowing up, and most of the times the reason is an unauthorized battery.
e.g. http://www.phonearena.com/news/Samsung-Galaxy-S-III-that-injured-18-year-old-girl-exploded-due-to-third-party-battery_id45509
If something like this does happen, Samsung will not help you or fix the phone for you, even if you are under the warranty period.
So always be cautious while using an unauthorized battery.
Just don't see how you can really cram that much add'l capacity into the same size battery for such a cheap price. Where's the trade off?
I'd like anyone who gets one of these to report back after using it for a few weeks to see how they hold up.

what about the one in question? It offers 150mah extra. I know it's not too much, but if using two batteries (OEM + this one) it all comes up to 6550mah if I'm not mistaken, which is good.
Samsung spend millions of dollars on researching batteries. So these batteries can not keep goal.

So why not just spend the money on a samsung battery. No worries. No issues. No checking to see that 150mah you're not going to get. Just get another stock battery. I already have mine with charger. Was $25 after tax on samsung website but after 50% off coupon.

You don't need to buy the charger, You can buy just the battery and swap it when the first one is dead. It's somewhere around 17-20 $ on eBay. I don't think it should be a problem ordering it where you live, or you can have it shipped to any of your friend or relative and tell them to send it to you.
