Hey all.
Just wanted to post and say that my Sensation battery works flawlessly in my EVO 3D. Many reviews and tests on the Sensation boards are confirming the battery is indeed 1900mah so its a good deal for a $10 battery from California!
Is there any noticeable difference? I don't see what an extra 200 (or whatever it is) mah will do, still $10 isn't bad for just a general backup battery.

Eh its alright. I've only had the phone for a few days tho. I'll get back to ya.
I've had these batteries for a week now and do notice a slight increase over stock. However I only calibrated it 2x (full discharge and recharge).
Thanks for the info. Even if they are just 1730mah then they are still a great deal compared to $30 for a stock HTC battery! Got a link? I'm gonna order 1 or 2 tonight

Oh man..the price went down. I paid $20 for just 2 batteries no charger and the one with the charger was going for 23.99 now its 21.99. Gonna email the guy to see if I can get an extra charger for the difference lol.

Robstunner, can you confirm that this is the seller that you got yours from as well?
Oh, another question for any one with these batteries and charger. Does the battery show 100% charged when you put it in your phone after using the external charger? My ebay docking station with extra battery charger in the back doesnt fully charge. When I put in a battery off the charger, it reads from 86-94%. I've tried taking them out as soon as teh light turns green and also leaving them in 5 hours after the light is green, same results though...
If this one actually charges to 100%, then that is another added bonus!!! I can charger 2 extra batteries at the same time, and when the dock says its charged, I'll put the battery in the charger that comes with the Anker batteries to finish them off.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220809471557
Thats what i got. I believe the Sensation users were saying that there is a 1930mah one made by anker for EVO3D. THe mentioned it because it also worked on the Sensation.
Can't find a seller in Germany..
Only one seller on ebay provides shipping to germany. One battery for $24,99 and shipping cost $5,00. Not a very good deal, is it? =/

Id like to know about the white charger as well. I have a black one from ebay for sensation and it charges the anker 1900mah up to 99% but it charges my oem up to 90%. I need a charger that will charge the OEM batt to alteast 99%.

Considering it is 1900mah and lasts a bit longer than OEM which cost more then I would say its a fair deal but not a great deal. Also not having an extra charger kinda makes it pointless to have an extra battery. Just my thoughts.
I have a couple of these and aso notice a bit of improvement over stock. Depending on my usage maybe 1 to 2 hours better. The charger seems to work fine for me as the voltage with the charger versus charging via the phone are identical. Testing with a multimeter after full charge.

So after using the white external charger to fully charge the battery, once it lights up that its done and you put the battery in the phone, the phone shows battery as 100% ?
So far for me these batteries run cooler and longer. Its pretty cool that the charger is universal and can charge almost any cell battery.
PS. They also always charge to 100 percent for me.

Yep sure does. Although I did wipe battery stats and did 2 full cycles this way. Seems strange that it would actually be 100% though since it does take some power to boot the phone. But I guess not enough to make a difference. I'm using ViperRom with a self made circle battery with %. System panel also shows 100% can't remember the voltage system panel showed, ill look next time I put one in if you're interested.

Are you guys still using OEM at all? I have 2 of these anker but I wanna get an extra one and forget about the stock so it doesnt screw up my battery stats.
I use them all including stock, the voltages seem to be pretty close and I get maybe an hour less on the stock bat with my usage. So I think you will be ok interchanging them.

hopefully these don't turn out to be like the evo 3d ones. i bought the same setup and all the batteries were really 1000ma. if you pulled the sticker up it said 1000ma under it. i could get about 3-4 hours out of one.

2-3 batterys and a charger for around 10-12 bucks. You can't expect to get close to the stock battery for that price. 4 hour emergency batteries for that price is well worth it. Had them for my Epic and already ordered for Photon even though I'm not getting the phone till next week, takes a few weeks to get them.
These will work. The problem is that once they charge they discharge from 100% to 50% normally, then the battery dies. How much do you want to bet that the rated mah is nowhere near 1500. I got suckered in. I might as well keep these for emergencies.

Just noticed that I never reported back on that first post. Well the batteries are good enough in a pinch but they certainly drain much faster. I just might try the one that wagonattack just posted.
Only wish I could find a good battery charger for these batteries.
TS
I got some of the ones from Newegg. It is actually sold by a "marketplace" vendor, so not newegg itself- shipped from California, USPS was the only option.
The batteries themselves are almost exact replicas of the original battery so the fit is great. They are flat black on one side and the label on another- so there's no mistaking it for the original. I have a few dud batteries for my HD2 that look exactly like originals so it's annoying if i put one of them in and forget to bring an extra.
The rating is 1700mAh @ 3.7v versus the HF5X's 1650+ @ 3.8- it ends up being pretty much the same number of Watt/Hours. I'll be able to see this weekend if the same on paper equates the same in real life as far as runtime goes.
After a trip this weekend and some normal usage the past few days, the newegg batteries are definitely as good as the original battery. It's definitely not a one or two hour battery, all day usage from 9-5 with over 60% left, similar to the normal battery.
Again- the only annoying thing is that they don't come with an external charger... but oh well.
So today I was scouring the web for accessories for the beast known as the HTC Rezound (Vigor) and came across this extended battery, reporting 3500 mAh!!! That's crazy. The website has also made 3500 mAh batteries for other devices as well. However, this one for the Rezound has not yet been released.
Here's the link to the website that I found it at: **-->CLICK ME FOR AWESOMENESS<--**
Thoughts?
I've always had HTC batteries, so u went with the 2750 battery and factory htc extended door for mine. I prefer to stick with HTC, however this may be good as well.
Would be interesting to see how the battery cover on this looks like and if there is any improvement in reception, like some people are are reporting with the extended battery.
If they are able to make the 3500mah battery the same dimensions as the HTC extended battery that would be great. I prefer to use the HTC back since it has metal inserts as the antenna. There's no knowing if the replacement back is up to the same spec as the HTC one.
BOBBY
I saw that a couple days ago too, but I saw it as too good to be true. Considering the lack of photos and the website itself seems a little fishy. But hey, if it works like it says then that's great. I have the HTC extended battery and it works like a charm.
Thanks for all of your responses! I thought this website was a bit fishy too, but just thought I'd share it with the amazing XDA community. If I end up getting an extended battery, it'll be the OEM one.

Not really. As it has been explained to me, "over-charging" extended batteries is the only way to get them to a full charge because if the phone originally had a smaller battery, it will think that the ext battery is full when it reaches the same capacity as the original battery's "full" mark in the battery history file.
Seemed good until they stated the whole deal about the Droid 3. "Lets be honest, how are you going to watch Netflix at work with that small battery?" <-- full of win though.

Where your wrong is there's a chip in the battery to report when its actually charged so when it turns green its actually charged.
When your over charging it this is where there used to be issues with HTC kernels. Basically our kernel charges to %100 and let's it die to %90 and then charges it back up again. Hense the need to bump charge in older phones, but with the phones now like the thunderbolt and our rezound bump charging is pretty useless as our phones drain that %10 in a reboot
Hit thanks or ill hit you

I calibrated mine the first time I charged it
Now it's lasting 15 hours.
Hello XDA. Another post to try and help the community. I just received my order from eBay and wanted to share.
So I decided to buy some extra batteries to have on hand so as not to run out of juice. In the process, I also wanted a separate charger to keep them charged. To my amazement, I found the Anker charger WITH 2 replacement batteries for $14.99 shipped from a California seller!
I also ordered a Hyperion desktop dock that has a built in charger for an extra battery. This dock should arrive later this week but also a California seller off eBay! I'll post when that arrives.
Anyway, back to the Anker. Packaging is nice. It's in retail packaging as if it's sold in stores. Comes with instructions too! The charger is universal and can charge many different styles of batteries. It also has a USB port to charge another item while it's charging battery. The other nice thing is it will charge from a wall outlet OR a car charger! The mini USB plug is also on the side with the USB port. I'm not so sure on the charging pins however as they seem a bit thin and will require to be lined up every time a battery is inserted. The pins slide from right to left to allow for different size batteries. That's another issue. The battery for the Note is so big that it has to sit off to one side to allow for the charging pins to make contact.
The batteries are also retail packaged and come with instructions. They are White in color... Matches my Note.... And seem about the same weight. They are listed at 2500Mah but I have yet to try them out for longevity.
There are many pics I've taken to try and paint a picture as to what you'll get if you decide to order. Hopefully this will help someone who may want or need them. Any questions, let me know!

Hopefully these items will work and provide long lasting performance. If not, it was only $14.99.....

let us know the life for one full charge plz...
I got something similar for my Xperia Play last year. I only wanted the charger but it came with two batteries and was only £10 or £15.
I expected the two batteries to be useless but here I am a year later still using them, sometimes for weeks at a time as my primary battery as I tend to charge my phone a lot so it helps keep the official battery good for longer.
The batteries are of course not as good as the official one, probably around 75-80% as good but I have been very happy with them so far. So even if these batteries are similar that is money well spent in my opinion.
i got it at amazon at the same price 14.99$ (2 batteries and charger) with GUARANTEE 2 days deliver! i'm a Prime member. maybe due to popular demand, they raised the price to 16.99$ on amazon now.

i just use it like any other battery, charge it and use it.
after i got these inexpensive batteries, i havnt use the original samsung battery!
these anker battery last me the whole day just like original samsung battery. (i charge it when i go sleep).
the only time i swap battery is when phone battery is getting low or i forgot to charge it.
I also bought this same Anker deal for my Galaxy S -- off the same guy. They seemed to work as well as stock, though I didn't do any testing. They were supposed to be 300 mah bigger then stock -- I didn't notice a diference. Funny thing is it was more expensive for the batteries for my Galaxy S that are smaller then these haha. Anyways I'm not a huge fan of the charger. It says in the manual to not leave your battery charging for more then 24 hours, so I assume that means it continues to charge the battery after it reaches 100% and you'll want to take your battery off as soon as possible to avoid degradation. The charger is also made for any battery so it has these awkward sliding pins you have to set on your batteries + and - each time which can be a little annoying. Other then that, great buy.

Well, first charge cycle was in the 10.5 hour range with 3:25 minutes on screen. Charged it from %1 overnight so lets see what day 2 brings. I leave the wifi on as well as GPS and I'm in an LTE area with so-so signal. My average life is 12-13 hours with 2.5-3 hours screen so if I get the same oit of these, I'd be just fine with that.

Got my 3500 mAh battery a couple days ago. So far impressed, and is what I've needed. I couldn't go a 1/2 day with the 1750 mAh battery. Now I'm going 1.5 - 2 days before charges.
I am using the battery monitor app, but I'm not too keen on it's features. If there is something that you guys would like for me to look at, let me know. If I'm reading it right, I'm getting 13 hrs on this batter between charges.
BTW got the battery off of eBay ~8 w/ free shipping: http://www.ebay.com/itm/251060188877?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
Don't know what is up with the pricing, but it is now stating $57 and change.
Yea it is the black and white one.
I'd recommend this one for considerably less. About 10ish from Amazon, 13 on eBay:
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/view...md=VIDESC&index=15&nav=SEARCH&nid=39658739379
Has an odd looking case but the non standard design allows it to continue to be used in docks and car docks.

Seidio Innocell 1900mAh
I am going to get the Seidio Innocell 1900mAh this week
I vouche for that laza battery. It is awesome works great
Honestly I couldn't go with a 1900. The extra 170mAh in my book is like throwing money away. In my case it would only give me another 1/2 of usage, and I would still be tied to a power outlet. Now I can go 3 days on one charge. When I get the time I'm going to cut out my Otter backing to allow me to use my Defender and cradle.
If the 4000mAh Seido battery weren't $50; compared to just $8 for a 3500 with backing, I would have gotten one. The longer I can go without charges the more I would inclined to go with a larger battery.
How long do the Laza batteries go for?
I'm using the Battery Monitor widget, but if someone could tell me where to look to see the estimation on battery life, I would post it up.

Well guys, I may have spoken too soon. Seems that the 3500 that I bought just went dead...for good. Won't take a charge. Charging light just blinks red, and phone will not power on. Works fine with my old 1700mAh batter. And this is less than 14 days of use.

if its blinking i believe that means its super discharged and requires to be hooked up to the charger until it stops blinking. try leaving it on the charger for a few hours, see if it comes back.

Gonna need more info to this, as I have never heard of a battery being super discharged. Already contacted the seller. $2 for s/h and I get another batt, and don't have to send back the old one.
I'd recommend this one, Yoobao 3500mah Extended Battery, the quality of Mugen and Sedio at half the price. Dont be fooled by the CHEAP batteries that you need 2 of that may ruin your EVO 3d there is a reason why they are $9 and no warranty. http://dx-box.com/yoobao-sprint-htc-evo-3d-3500mah-extended-battery-plus-back-battery-cover-door.html

my bros EVO 4G stopped working (stock battery) and all it did was blink red while plugged in. we left it plugged in for a while and it wasnt coming back on....
so after looking it up we figured out that sometimes the battery dies and go way below startup charge levels. to indicated this HTC phones will blink red. so we crossed our fingers and left it plugged in for 4 hours. maybe a little less.. and it came back like nothing had happened. hasn't been a problem since..
my bro admitted he ran it down, but i suspect the phone thought he had 50 percent still when in fact it had less than 0%
make sure your using a USB AC Adapter, a computer will likely take twice as long if at all
Here is what I believe happened with your battery. Its voltage dropped below a preset value. As you left it in the phone and on the charge, as the charger blinked red, the battery stabilized. Think of it this way, you leave your lights on your car and you get a dead battery. If you let it sit for a bit, you may regain enough amps to start the car. Essentially same principle here.
ETA: I swapped back to my 3500mAh battery, after it sat out in the open for a couple days. It now takes a charge. Will report back on its capacity. I expect it to take 6 hours to fully recharge.

Well guys, I may have spoken too soon. Seems that the 3500 that I bought just went dead...for good. Won't take a charge. Charging light just blinks red, and phone will not power on. Works fine with my old 1700mAh batter. And this is less than 14 days of use.

Well my stock battery gave me trouble... Just needed a kick start.... It wasn't even discharged. Just wanted to pretend it was.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29154356
So you guys just walk around without w case after you get the extended battery?
I can't decide if to get an extended battery ... (it will cause problems with my car phone stand and my dock, my kick stand case will be useless...) or buy another battery? Since I rooted I can't seem to get any decent battery performance

Here's what you do. Get an extended battery. Buy an Otter Box Defender. Take the back plate of the Defender and cut out the battery section. Wrap it with the silicone case. Now you can still use the Defender's cradel. The Otter Box Defender has a built in kickstand, not many people know of. All you do is use the belt clip and open it as wide as it will go. At that point the clip will lock open, and there you'll have a kick stand.
Just don't know if it will work with your car phone stand, but now you have a case, a kick stand, and extended battery.
Sounds promising. I'll be sure to check it out.
I didn't know about the belt clip either.

Can this be done with the Ballistic HC too?
Ankers are way too expensive ordering from Canada and I need a new battery.
How does this one look?

Im in the market for the same thing. Came across these 3 on amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/1900mAh-Batte...d=1349241525&sr=1-6&keywords=amaze+4g+battery
http://www.amazon.com/EC-TECHNOLOGY...=1349241525&sr=1-15&keywords=amaze+4g+battery
http://www.amazon.com/Onite-1920mAh...=1349241525&sr=1-18&keywords=amaze+4g+battery
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!

Wow thats a deal, I actually have the case but in clear, wish I saw this before...
I just ordered these
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007PZBBZQ/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&psc=1&s=wireless
I was tempted to.buy that too. But then people said Anker is good. So I hesitated. Sigh, well since I got 2 OEM batteries just need the wall charger.
nice

Nobody seems to have answered your question. The Amaze OEM battery is 3.8v, not 3.7.

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.
