These batteries seem practically useless. If I use the phone constantly text messaging or internet, whatever the battery only seems to last for maybe 45-60 minutes. The original battery died a long time ago, so I got these new batteries on Ebay from China that are 1600mAh. I paid a little more for them because they were 1600mAh instead of the standard 1500mAh, but maybe the quality is bad so the mAh doesn't matter? Does anybody know a better battery or solution? My friend gets these 1650mAh batteries that he swears by, but he pays a fortune for them. So, I don't know. Thank you!

I swear by the Innocell 1650 mAh batteries I get from Seidio (http://www.seidioonline.com). They're $44.95, which I don't consider to be a fortune for something that lasts well over a year. I have two (one in the phone and one I keep charged just in case) and swap them every couple of weeks, and I'm going on about a year and a half with no noticeable dropoff in capacity.
I've seen cheapies on eBay for around $10, but you get what you pay for.
Well, I suppose I should finally get a new battery.... My original battery has finally started to drain too fast... I have had it for 1.5 years...... haha I'll try that new seidio.....
Yeah, that's the same battery my friend got and recommended, but it's too expensive. I found a 2200mAh and 2800mAh on Ebay for cheap. The 2800mAh requires an extended cover, but the 2200mAh doesn't say if it does or not and the guy isn't replying to my emails. Does anybody know? Thanks.

TRY THIS
Sometimes its not the battery
what would happen to me is that i would sometimes leave open programs in the beackground and that would kill the battery fast, especialy if you leave the gps program on it kills it before you know it. Go into the settings and select to close program upon pressing x, that helps otherwise you have to remember to close them or go to task manager and closing them.
Well, I have every closed. You can see my memory usage here, if that's helpful:

im having the same problem!
I've got 2 standard batteries that I had for bout 2 yrs.. I can't seem to find an upgraded battery for my mogul..don't want to get it onlline ... even my sprint stores don't have any new standard batteries either. I hate that I only get a n hour of usage when I used to get about 6 hrs straight!...
Well, my friend gave me one of his batteries. I think he paid $5 for it on Ebay. I tested it, and I used it for 14 straight hours with never plugging it into electricity and it was at 5% after the 14 hours. I used it off and on, making phone calls, sending and getting text messages and using the internet. It really shocked me. I wonder how long they are good for, but even if they only last for 6 months, it's still only $10 per year for 2 batteries. So, I guess time will tell. He is no longer paying the $45 for the Seidio batteries anymore. I think he says they only lasted about a year. So, this might be a better way to go. These batteries say HTC on them, but I think they are sold as OEM batteries...

Has anyone had any luck with replacement batteries that come with an external charger? I see a few on Amazon but curious what you guys thought
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I bought the anker one's from ebay. It was posted at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16718161.
I didn't receive them yet so I don't have any input about it.
PS. Thanked you by accident, enjoy.

Just bought the Chichitek 1930mah...2 plus the wall charger for 29.99. So far, very impressed. 14 1/2 hours with moderate usage and still over 60%
Seems like the general consensus is the Anker and Chichitec batteries meet or exceed the OEM mAh rating. I'd stay away from the rest on Ebay, except OEM.
Another vote for Anker. I haven't tried the Chichitek.
I did a stress test on the anker, which... I guess it tells me the min amount of time I can use my phone straight for.
lasted roughly 1hr 45min with GPS, wimax, max brightness, WiFi tether on. I had the camera record for roughly 45 mins with flash on, and played some 3d golf.
Though I turned some stuff off during the 2 hours because I didn't want to look my phone.
Has everyone switched to the new battery, or are you still using the original one.

I bought Mugen on my last device. The stock was 1200mah, Mugen was 1500mah - I have not see any differences.
It's well-known Mugen is the best ;-)

I got the Mugen.
It lasts really longer, something like +40%, so on stock battery and GB my phone was dying quickly after lunch - but now upgraded with Mugen and debloated 4.0.3 - at the very late night.. ;-)
However the indication isn't very precise. The charge indicator drops from 100% till 90% within the first ten minutes after unplugging and further then descends till 0% pretty slow.
I bought 2 "Replacement batteries for HTC Evo 3D, HTC Amaze 4G, HTC Sensation 4G" on Amazon.ca in January, and the batteries have "REPLACEMENT FOR HTC EVO 3D" written in big bold letters on it. The batteries do fit in my Amaze, but they would turn the phone off completely when it was saying 15% battery life.
That pair of batteries came with a battery charger which has been good. I've since lost one of the batteries though. I'm looking into buying new ones. Here are my options (in Canada).
1) 2 Anker batteries that claim to support the Amaze with a universal charger (I can't post a link because I'm new, but theres only 1 Anker battery listing on Amazon.ca if you want to search it)
2) Call 1-888-617-1113 HTC Warranty support and ask them for a new battery. Apparently they give an extra battery for free. I'll likely do this anyways, but I'm not sure if they do this in Canada.
Can I trust the Anker batteries? Does anyone know if the batteries shown on this listing are the right ones for the Amaze? Thanks

Calling this number gets you a free battery as long as you send the old one back. If you don't send in the old one within 15 days your credit card is charged $40.
I know if you complain to T-Mobile they can send you another battery for the processing fee of $5. Of course you need a valid reason. Hopefully the new HTC one will fix some issues.

Amazon.ca Item Number B005B3RFTU fits the Amaze. Just received mine yesterday.
I'm cautiously optimistic - I charged one of these fully with the external charger and have been running it unplugged for 20 hours (9 hours sleeping, 11 with light / moderate use) and am still at 56%. I've not yet calibrated or "conditioned" the batter as per Anker instructions (full charge / deplete 5 times) so I fully expect the phone to die any minute now... or in the next few hours. I'll report back in a few days when I know more.
Edit: I realize that the user I replied to already has these, but I'll check in later anyway in case others are wondering.

The batteries I've tried were only andida and Hyperion . The andida battery gave me 2 to 3 hrs more than stock, stock battery lasted 15 hrs moderate use . The hyperions weren't so great. They would drop from 100 to 75 in about 45min continuous use but after that I would get about 10hrs of moderate use. I could kill the Hyperion in 3 hr of continuously usage. But be carefull wen charging non OEM batteries on phone do not leave them charging over night one time I woke up and phone was really hot to touch and would not turn on untill I did a battery pull.

2-3 hours more isnt enough for me to buy one, but i am interested in hearing about the anker battery. hehe
I'm about half way thru the conditioning as suggested by Anker and will be back with more info soon. So far it seems that they're very much worth the price.

so then would you say the anker battery is worth it? havev u heard on the mugen battery?
Yes, the Mugen is a better known brand but way more expensive for about the same mAh. I haven't heard as much about it around here as I have the Anker.
So I just about have the Ankers conditioned and have come to the conclusion that they are far better than stock. The idea that stock is 1730 mAh and these are 1900 mAh is odd to say the least. I'm wondering if a pile of the HTC batteries that everyone has are somehow rated wrong or defective.
After conditioning (fully charge in the external charger / fully deplete in the phone X 5 - seems like overkill, but I'll stick to it) I'll calibrate. I'm expecting that calibrating will improve the run time significantly, because as it is now, I can reboot the phone (usually into recovery), and upon reboot, I get a higher reading. For example, after using the phone for 10 hours, the battery reads 40%. Reboot into recovery says 60%. Reboot into the os gives me 60%. I expect a calibration to mitigate this.
Calibration: Charge with the battery IN the phone with the phone on to 100% / led goes green, unplug, turn off via recovery power down. With power off charge till led is green, uplug, fully boot, turn off via recovery power down again. With the power off charge till led is green once more. This process improved the stock battery, and I expect there to be an improvement on the Anker as well.
After all this is done and I get a chance to stress it for a few days I'll know more.

3.7v is not the right voltage for our phones, which ALL the aftermarket batteries are, this is really annoying to me... and I have since lost my OEM battery, now I don't know where to purchase a new OEM... I am sick of the mis-readings with the anker, I have calibrated this thing and while I do get decent battery life, I don't like that if I forget to charge it BEFORE I go to sleep so I can unplug as soon as it's green, then I wake up to a hot phone, and if I can tell my phone is hot through a Trident Kraken case, then I'm quite sure it's not good for the phone or battery...
so anyone know where to purchase a genuine amaze oem battery?

I have two Anker batteries, bought at the same time and conditioned identically. One is as good as stock, the other is far worse. But I've not seen any other battery that worked as well. I have a couple of Laza batteries that are pretty bad.

oh ok.. yeah i was thinking of getting a higher (mah) battery like anker but i'm just not quite sure if it'll make significant improvements. i've also been hearing alot that there are good number of fake ones outhere... = / .. damnit wish our device wasn't so much of a power hog otherwise this would have made it even sweeter.
After holding off forever on my launch day evo3d and getting sick of having to charge my phone at work and potentially missing a call from the wife in an emergency I decided to buy an anker battery. Holy cow. My tired nearly 2 year old battery was definitely worn. Before I'd get around 1 hour and 45 mins of screen on before I'd have to charge. I'm currently at 1 hour 12 minutes and have 71 percent left. Earlier today I stressed it and got to 2 hours 46 minutes screen on and was at 51 percent. Definite improvement. When ICS first came to our phones I noticed a big improvement over battery life and I've strived to get that back changing ROMs kernels etc. Finally bit the bullet and got a new battery.
Point is: if you are getting poor battery life and you have over a year old battery get a new one. I don't trust most batteries listed but this anker is good in my book. I will keep this thread updated for a while. Once I upgrade this phone will be my 3 year olds phone for playing bowling and other little things that stimulate his growing mind.
Well. Running latest dastin cm10.1 with buttered toast 16.4 at 1188 max iland xondemand I'm getting around 2 hours 50 minutes screen on. Usually around 30 percent at that point. Trying not to drain this battery completely. Either way, happy as hell with my phone battery life now.
Well my phone isn't over 1 year old but I feel the need to have atleast a second battery as a backup for LOOONG trips etc.
Since I tried the bulky battery packs from some friends and I found them terribly unpractical despite what the internet has to say about them, I would only but a battery that fits the stock case but offers bigger capacity than the one that comes from and it won't be a battery that is so bad quality that it's performance will drop in like one week, so I was considering Anker. My question is, is there any -PROVEN- to be better (capacity and quality wise) than Anker even if you have to forget completely the price? I'd be happy to spend a little more on a larger capacity battery that is good quality as far as it fits the stock casing.

Mugen Power batteries are usually considered the premium solution for cell phones and this one that fits the Evo 3D with the stock cover claims to have a little more capacity than the Anker model. I don't have either so I can't really give you any feedback on that, but for $46 on Amazon I think I'd rather go with the Anker two pack and charger for $30 on Amazon or the EC Technology equivalent for $18 on Amazon and pocket the change.
Edit: Here's a review of the Mugen Power battery by an Evo 3D user.

Thanx, this was exactly what I was thinking. Also since the battery is not tested I don't want to do experiemnts with my money for just 50mAh...
I've recently purchased a MugenPower 1950mAh battery for my Evo 3D. I's supposed to be delivered some day in April. I will post the results of the usage as soon as I get it. One thing must be said, it's not a cheap battery. But I just want to forget battery issues on my Evo and enjoy a whole day playing with it!
I've this on (the anker).
I would say it's quite the same perfomance as the original battery.
I got a pack of two vor 10€. Awesome price in my opinion.

Where did you get it so cheap? Send me PM please.
Also looking for replacement battery, as right now I charge 2-3 times a day on the stock 2 yr old batt.. curious about Mugen Batt, but anker seems tested and proven.. for $30 you get 2 batt with charger at amazon.. Hope the Mugen users out there comment about it before i can order the anker for comparison.
Using Ballistic cases, so bulky batt aint no option..
I've been using the Anker 1900 for a 1 1/2 months and it's excellent. I'm running DU 4.2.2 ROM with Mirage kernel. Speeds are set at 384/1188. The stock battery after 2 years would be darn near dead half way through the day with moderate use. This Anker lasts me the entire day with the same usage. I'm on twitter, web, calls, texting, taking pictures, and game here and there. There's been many nights when I plug it in with 30% or so left. I'll take a look tonight and get times, etc and post back.
I got my Anker yesterday evening. 8 AM this morning, i took my phone off charger and 12 hours later I'm on 48%. I'd say my use is moderate. Wifi is always on, mobile network on, lots of calls and some internet browsing. Pretty good for first charge. Oh, and my CPU is OCed to 1836MHz. Guys at Anker really know what they're doing :thumbup:
14 hours on battery with 3.5 hours screen on and still 28% to go
Don't know if anyone's here been using RavPower. I have heard quite a few times these days. Checked on their amazon store and find that their price is cheaper than Anker, what about the quality?
I just picked up the Anker battery for $17 on Amazon. Although capacity rating isn't much higher than stock I find that it definitely holds a charge longer and the drop off isn't nearly as fast. I'm on stock rom with MiRaGe kernel and a light user so I already get good battery life. But for the occasional trip I found that I can't get through the day on a full charge. So the anker give me some improvement without added bulk of a high capacity battery and for the few times I need it I now use the stock battery as a backup. At this price I would recommend picking one up.
In my opinion Thema Anker battery is Worth every Euro, just because does a way better Job than The Stock htc battery. Maybe it was just because my evo is a Bit old, but i Had to Charge it every 8 hours with Stock Rom which should have one of the best battery life. With my Anker its about 20-24 hours with regular usage
