I think it is better to work the phone without cover than having that!!!! D)
Just kidding!!!
Really cheap!!!

It's very doubtful. What a price!!!
Well, actually they have even more batteries at a really low price :
3.7V 1100mAh Lithium Battery Pack for HTC Touch Diamond 2 for 8.37$
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.27014
2300mAh 3.7V Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery with Battery Cover for HTC T5353/Touch Diamond 2 for 10.99$
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.29250
I guess the quality is not so good since it's not a brand/made in china but it may be worth the price.

Free explosions for everyone! Muahahahaha!
Seriously, I wouldn't put an unbranded battery anywhere near a £400 piece of electronic equipment.

If you suspect bad quality but still think it's worth a shot, you can use a digital Lithium battery charger to test whether or not the battery holds true to its specs. Since I'm a RC-model hobbyist, I already have one and I'm considering to try out this pack and see if it's for real.
Besides, because it's a cheap pack it doesn't mean it's a bad pack. Most cellphone OEM packs out there are rebrands of cheap mass-produces. In fact, cellphone batteries are the cheapest of the cheap since there's no need for a high discharge rating. Some of the best packs I've used in my hobby are from chinese brands, they cost about 12 USD each and are much bigger and have a higher discharge tolerance than the one linked in this thread.
Also, I can tell you for sure that there's no need to worry about exploding batteries, the worst that can happen is that the voltage drops and the battery cell swells slightly during charge. This is refered to as a "bad cell" and as long as you discard the battery at first sign of swelling there is no danger. Burning or melting can only occur if you charge or discharge the battery too quickly (I mean WAY faster than a cellphone could ever accomplish), explosions are very hard to achieve but possible if you for example plug the battery directly into the mains. I've tried this a few times on old packs, and mostly you only get smoke and sometimes you get a proper BANG.
Always such an ugly back cover ... unbelievable

i have this batt and i don't like it. it drains the percentage of the battery even more fast than the stock rom 1100 mah. i don't know if my batt is faulty but...
and i don't use it so much, maybe with the time... it will be more powerful.
anyone with this problem?anyone with this battery?

I think Skippxx works for that site or owns it LOL
I wanted to know you're thoughts on getting a second htc battery and wiring them in Parallel. (soldering them together) Should be same voltage just different capacity. Do you think it would work? Would it break anything? Only thing i was worried about is the overcharge protection in the individual batteries.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
In parallel, voltage will stay the same amps will be added. In series, voyage will double, amps will stay the same. When you do this, voltage multiplied by power will give the power output. It should be okay to charge as one will stop charging. What I am thinking but could be wrong is that since the batteries have overcharge protection..in parallel, when one charges to full, the other one still will charge since there is not a broken connection say if it was in series. But only testing will see if they work.
Im thinking / hoping it will charge both at the same rate, just 1/2 the speed, it would take twice as long though. It should be same charge time as say Seido Innocell 3400 mAh Super Extended Life Battery. I could get a second battery for $20. Where the 3400 and 4000 seido cost 70 and 75.
Basically trying to get the 3400 for $20 and 2 min solder time. Just wanted to know if it would ruin the built in protection.
Let us know if that works, if it does I am gonna give it a shot.
let us know please. and how are you going to hold these in your phone?

The only damage might be from the heat of the solder gun. Those babbies, from what I seen are cmos chips very close to the connections of the terminal.
why would you even do this?
This just sounds like a very bad idea... Please video tape it for us!
This is a bad idea. I mean it's just better if you shelve more money and get a bigger battery. Props to you if you find a convenient way of charging these batteries in parallel.
Sent from my 3D Beast
My opinion:
You are taking a risk of ruining 2 batteries to save a couple bucks? Worst case scenario: You buy the extra battery ($20.00), you ruin both batteries, you have to replace your original battery now (another $20.00) so now you have already spent $40.00 and you are back at square one. Even if you figure out how to get it to work, you have to figure out how to mount the extra battery. For $65.00, you can get the Seidio 4k battery and backplate and not go through all the hassle.
But, it is my opinion, and if you do try this, I must see it on you tube
how do you plan to fit these in the phone? an extended battery door is probably too small to fit two stock batteries, and how do you plan to make it fit with such a tight top to bottom clearance given that you now have extra length from soldering?
just buy an extra battery and battery charger, keep the spare in your pocket. no added bulk, no potentially messing up both batteries, no blowing anything up!

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO, NO NO NO NO
Lithium batteries have to be carefully charged if they are to low voltage or to high voltage they can explode into fire balls of pain and fury. DO NOT try to charge 2 cells with out a charger designed to charge multi cell batteries (http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10473 is one available for fairly cheap) You will need to figure out pinning to get the 3 wires out (other then +/-) to properly charge the batteries.
Once again, DO NOT try to charge them in a normal charger you rig your self, it is incredibly dangerous and you ARE going to burn down your house.
just order the 3500mah battery from fleabay...it's under $10 shipped and comes with the back door. Actually read somewhere that they just pretty much stack and wire two stock batteries together. I just ordered mine today...for the heck of it.

Not to start a flame but it is my understanding lithium batteries cannot be charged while Li- ion batteries can plus hold a charge per density greater then just lithium. Also with the overcharged protection in the baterries, any charge that was going to one battery will hence go to another.once both cell in each battery are full the phone or,smart wall charger will stop charging.. I don't agree with the op idea to try..it will result in a waste of batteries.

Odds are you'll burn your house down. There is a lot more that is needed to safely charge Li-ion batteries than just plugging it in and running power through it.
Do this and use a SBC kernel and let me know what happens! :
I actually have 2 evo 3d batteries soldered together in my phone now and repacked. I've been using for 2 weeks now. I get the best battery life i have ever gotten. I'm a very heavy user. It can last me way over 20 hours with heavy use.
Before this battery I had 2 samsung galaxy s batteries soldered together. They were 1650 mah each. I have been doing this with all my phones for quite some time. You will get better battery life than most of the extended batteries that you can buy out there.

This looks like a "Hold my beer and watch this!" redneck moment!
Just was curious if anyone knew if the battery for the Rezound would be compatible with other HTC's like the Thunderbolt. Been searching but no real answers. I know battery life is gonna be horrible b/c i've been using the Incredible (original) for almost 2yrs and ended up getting a battery only charger swapping batteries. Thanks in advance!
I was wondering the same thing as I would like to bring over the Thunderbolt's Mugen 4500mAh battery. Although, it's one thing if the battery fits... but another all together if the antenna connectors on the rear panel will also match up.
Did some digging and found a couple of things. VZW sku ADR6425LVW. The OEM model number for the battery is BTR6425B which is compatible with the HTC HD7 and HTC Wildfire S. Couldn't find anything regarding the Thunderbolt although the battery model numbers were similar.

I can tell you for a fact that batteries from the bolt and rezound fit perfectly in each phone however one problem the voltage for a thunderbolt battery is 3.7 and a rezound battery is 3.8 so they don't match voltage wise.
I was also very curious about this. Was going to look for some cheap non-oem batteries like I did for the og incredible - i bought 2 1400mah batteries and wall charger for $13. they lasted about 75% as long as the stock battery did-

Same thing I did. Got a spare and an old Eris battery with 2 charge cradles.
This may be a long shot but since the Rezound is based on the Sensation...I wonder if we could order OEM HTC Sensation XE batteries? The XE did receive a bump up to 1730mah but the difficult thing is they are only sold in Europe.
It would be a nice OEM upgrade if we could get our hands on them.
HERE is a link for example
Actually the rezound battery isnt 3.8, mine says 3.7 on the back.

This is incorrect. The voltage of most, if not all, mobile phones is 3.7v. The Rezound is no exception.
The Thunderbolt battery will work, but there are different part numbers. I suspect that this is due to the Thunderbolt battery being slightly longer. When I put it in vs the Rezound extended it fit far more snug. Doubt it would matter, but there is a difference.
I am using both batteries daily. I start my day with my Rezound battery and when it dies I put in my TB battery. Its only a 1400 mAH, but it'll get me through those times when I'm not near a charger. One thing the TB batter does when in the Rezound is it grays out the battery icon on the notification bar with an exclamation mark over it. Despite the warning, lower voltage or whatever, it has worked fine and I have not noticed any performance issues.

Weird mine says 3.8, Id rather not have an error I think it would bug me even if there were no other drawbacks. I wont use a big extended battery. I need a spare battery and a battery charger soon I just dont know if I should wait or grab some thunderbolt battery's, I guess when charging my phone 3 times a day becomes more annoying than an error icon I will do it.

Hmm, I would try it, I've got Amazon Prime, so returns and shipping are free.
Anyone else think it would fit based on the pics?
If those pix are accurate, I'm going to guess it won't fit because that battery looks more square as opposed to the Rezounds more rectangular shape. But if you have free returns, what the heck.
I searched far and wide for batteries from other devices that could be compatable. Only other I know of is from the Tbolt. The Sensation (including XL & XE) definitely will not work as the dimensions are completely different. The Evo3d is kinda close though.
I emailed that company and they would not be developing a slim extended battery for the Rezound.

That would be great if you can do that for everyone. Companies will say they won't be developing for lots of reasons but number one is no access to the particular phone for testing. This just might be their r&d down for them.

Just FYI guys...
All lithium ion batteries in use for cell phones are 3.7v nominal. (voltage under moderate load, which is about half of rated capacity of a given battery... this is where we got the 3.7v rating standard) When fully charged the battery will be at 4.2v with no load. No phone actually puts enough load on the battery for it to read 3.7v until the charge is depleted enough. In fact these batteries are safe to discharge own to 3v (the real 0% empty for lithium batteries) but the minimum operating voltage for these phones is around 3.5v (which is about the 15-20% mark of the standard discharge curve for lithium ion) So the whole "never completely discharge your phone battery because it is bad for it" is bunk. You can't completely discharge the battery and 15% is a safe discharge level for the battery.
Also the mAh rating for a lithium ion battery is usually calculated from the empty 3v mark to the full 4.2v... So unless the phone batteries are calculated from the 3.5v mark then we can't use the full amount, but bigger is always better regardless. This fact is why I am wary about the off brand batteries that claim to have 100-200 more mAh than a stock battery. Because if the stock batteries are rated by usable power (4.2v-3.5v) and the off brands rated from the unusable 3v then the 100-200mAh difference is misleading as its not really usable. That difference is easily in the 15-20% range that would be left over in a battery only discharged to 3.5v

the HTC one is bigger and has more mAH so last longer... but you will need a different battery door... the other one i think fits in the stock battery door but only last longer for a couple of months
Ebay ad says: *Extended battery door is needed, which we do not currently carry*
Don't forget that the Rezound antenna it is located on the back cover so if you get an extend battery it should come with a new cover and antenna as well.
The HTC one does.

Besides what the others have posted, I've found Mugen batteries to be overrated in regards to MAH rating. Ive only had two Mugen batteries on other phones, but received nearly identical battery use in comparison to my lesser mah stock batteries.
Just my opinion, but grab the HTC extended battery, but don't forget about the door. I have 3 extended battery doors if you need one.
Ankers are way too expensive ordering from Canada and I need a new battery.
How does this one look?

I just dont know which one to get or even trust. I know anker is well known but ive also heard that they dont last that much longer than OEM's.
My #1 Choice
The first two things I purchase with a new phone are a Zagg invisishield for that phone, and a battery/charger combo from ebay. This ( ebay com/itm/2X-New-1800mAh-Battery-Dock-USB-Charger-for-T-Mobile-HTC-Amaze-4G-/180915086190?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2a1f61236e) is the one I ended up with, and no the battery life is not as long as the stock one, but it is definitely comparable. But, the charger also has a usb port, so you can charge your phone and battery at the same time. 11 dollars for 2 batteries and a charger is hard to beat. I hope I helped!

I got those same exact batteries and charger that came with my Amaze. They say they're 1800mAh but last the same as OEM (they also look thinner and lighter). I no longer use them because they never give accurate percentage readings and sometimes it shows a red battery icon with an exclamation mark, also the charger only charges to about 80%. I recently got an Anker for my brother's Glacier and it outlasts his OEM battery

All Li-Ion and Li-Po have a max of 4.25 volts before overcharging protection kicks on and a minimum 2.5 Volts before an under voltage protection kicks on. You can try this out on a fully charged battery or a drained battery. This voltage will fluctuate between charging points.
Makes me kinda wonder if those Gold batteries protections kick out at 2.5 but can handle a bit less since the protection is on board the battery.

As I said, if you look at the OEM battery, it says 3.8, whereas all the replacements say 3.7. That was my only point.
