Hi all,
at the moment, my hero sprint (I think this is the proper name) is running on the factory 1350mAh battery. I am pretty content, but I am reading about 1800mAh batteries that should live a lot longer! But on the batteryboss.org I see most are just rip-offs.
Whats the battery of your choice? What are your results and: where did you order it?
I am more than open for all advice about this subject, as long as the battery fits in the stock opening. I do not want my hero to become any bigger than is is
htcheroblog.com/2010/02/14/mugen-power-1550mah-3200mah-htc-hero-battery-review/
Read the five pages and it should give you an idea as to which battery (if any) you want.
Unless your away from your charger for more than one night then the standard htc battery should be sufficient, although I personally have the huuuuge 3200mAh battery which is amazing and lasted over 40 hours for me even with wireless and gps pretty much constantly on. Hope that helped

I also have a 3200 mAh battery and its lasted 14 days on minimal use! That's how good the Hero can be! I use the stock Battery for day to day use though as I get 2 days out of it usually.
I use 2200mAh purchased from Clove uk (part number is HTC-BATEHEROW-B15).
My battery goes down to 60-70% after a day use, WiFi on all time and quite a lot of calls.
It used to go down to 20-30% with the orginal battery.
The real good thing is that the phone has now taken an extra 5mm of thickness and this extra bit makes it much much easier to hold on my hands.
The cover color is real white and does not match the white Hero color, no big deal.

I dont expect many will have a much higher capacity worth buying if you dont want to add depth to the phone soory
If anyone is interested the Clove batteries (2200mAh) are only £7ish delivered to the UK now!
It may be a pricing error? no idea, either way Ive ordered!
Only available in white though... but almost twice the power for less than a 10er! Im in!
(I will probably cover the back cover in stickers anyway... its what all the Apple people do so its easily acceptable for a Android user to do it lol)
I also bought one And thank god i ahve a white hero
i bought one too...
Well my order just got cancelled by them because apparently they arnt in stock (even though they have been on the site listed as 'in stock' for the past few days) and they have removed the item from the site!
Havn't responded to my email asking if my money has been returned either!
Very professional...

and i've been using the phone quite a lot, including a couple of full wipe-flashing-backup
I have a 3200 mAh battery somewhere. But I really don't like the bulky back. When using Froyo, I had to use it as my phone wouldn't survive 12 hours with the stock battery. Now, running Gingerbread, a 1500 mAh battery I bought from DealExtreme for 5 USD lasts about 20 hours normale use.

You do have to cut away a little bit of the plastic though. But they are cheap, I've got two of them now, one in the phone and one charged in my pocket.
I think this is as big as it's going to get without having to replace the backdoor?
How about sun global battery? Does anyone of u use it before?

Digging up old thread but just wondered,has anyone used those 1550 mAh replacement batteries.
I'd like to buy one from ebay but i don't know if it is worth it.
Thanks in advance
There's 3200 mAh, 2200 mAh, 1550 mAh, and the stock 1350 mAh batteries.
I have the 2200 mAh version.
Its only $13.75 USD and is smaller than the 3200 mAh version.
It comes with the back case and lasts almost twice as long as the stock battery.
I wouldn't spend +$79 on just a battery. I'd rather buy 2 2200 mAh batteries. Cheaper and easier to carry.
Hey everyone,
I currently have both extended and not extended battery.
Was wondering what everyone else is using.
Edit:
Apparently i didnt attach the poll, lame : /
I have 3 regular batteries and a battery only charger. Didn't want to deal with a fatter phone, it barely fits in the case as it is.
I'm looking into getting that PowerSkin when its avilible for the thunderbolt. I got sick of how ugly the Extended made the phone look.
Just the one standard batt that it came with here. I keep looking for the charging stand that come with and extra standard batt though. VZW has them for Charge and Revolution but not Tbolt though. It's 3g only where I am and I get a solid day out of my phone easily.

standard battery, also keeping an eye out for tbolt powerskin.
Extend.
-Thundercats Are Go!
standard with extra battery plus battery charger dock.
I use the one that came with phone mostly but I also got the extended from VzW and love it!
I use the extended i like that it makes it a little thicker. Still have my stock battery n cover incase this one dies.. wish I would have looked around a little more n saw the 3500 mah I think it is. Woulda been way better then 2750

I use both, but like the extended better. I think my stock battery might have been faulty from the factory. My extended battery lasts approximately 3 or 4 times longer than the factory battery when nothing else has changed. I've calibrated my battery and cycled it correctly, etc... I use the stock battery sometimes strictly because I have the Best Buy Platinum case, which will eventually be replaced by something better but similar, and its really convenient.
With both batteries though, I make through at least an entire work day on a charge with my settings set up properly. I bought the extended battery when I got the phone, and it was only lasting part of a day on a full charge, but by the time Verizon shipped the extended battery I had learned enough to set my phone up correctly and avoid excessive battery drain.
I'm currently running BAMF Sense 3.0 Ginger with MR2 radio
I have the stock battery. 10-12 hrs gets me through my day.
I haven't mastered the voodoo necessary to get the stock battery through the day without a charger, but I can master it on the extended. So I keep the original in reserve and my Seidio cases keep my TB with the extended safe.
Stock for me. Gets through a 10 hour day of moderate use with no problems on latest roms.
Yea I went with two stock batteries and the New Trent IMP1000. It seemed to get the best ratings and has the amps to be able to charge our phone right not like the 500milliamp ones. The two batteries seem to work fine for the day for now but soon I won't always have direct access to a charger that's why I bought the NT IMP1000. It was worth a shot.
-Dubsky
Stock battery for me, keep a charger with me at all times but most of the time it makes it through a day at work with minimal use.
Im rocking the extended battery, i unplug it in the morning and go the entire day without charging. When i go to bed that night its usually around 60 or 50 percent battery and i dont charge it. Usually need to plug it in before i go to bed the next night.
Recently ive been running my stock battery unless I know im going to be out that day using my phone a lot of if i go into 4G coverage areas.
Extended. A little bulky, yes...but now my mind is free of constantly looking at battery life on standard. I charge overnight, wake up and go about my business.
Extended and couldn't be happier. I work.at Best Buy and got the extended battery that just came out, its actually made by Sedio, but I'm loving it. I went almost 5 hours and was down to 72%. Battery Left Widget estimates 18-19 hours on a charge. So worth the extra size.

I have the extended and love not having to worry about being near a charger 24/7. There is some added bulk, but it really isn't that bad. The only thing I don't like is that with the Seidio case, it uses its own plastic kickstand instead of the nice built-in one.
How is this on the thunderbolt?
From what I read it is around 1600mAh, I have the Thunderbolt with the extended battery that is 2750mAh and that's not even enough for me on some days.
I use the phone 3+ hours a day keep in mind. I assume the rezound battery would be an improvement, but if you are like me I would recommend the extended battery. The only problem for me is how fat it makes the back of the phone. Even so, I have learned to cope with it.
I get about 10-15% longer life from the 1620mAh rated Rezound battery than the stock 1400mAh rated battery. It can be hard to pin down a firm number as there are so many factors that effect power use. I would certainly recommend the Rezound battery as a replacement if your stock battery is bad, but don't expect much life extension for the money. I bought mine on verizonwireless.com. It showed as $40 list, but $20 in my cart.
If your looking to keep the stock look, I'd go with the Rezound. Bump n calibrate n you should be good to go. If you don't mind the hump n extra size, the extended is the way to go. No worry bout it lasting all day
Tapatalkn with my Thunderbolt!
I'm on stock battery and I'm getting 24 hours with a lot of use.... Just run battery calibration and mine got 10x better......

This is a 1950 mAh battery that I have been using for over a month and it works well. : http://www.ebay.com/itm/B055-New-1950mAh-Battery-Sony-Ericsson-BST-41-Xperia-X10-/180851100743

Bought the 2600mah extended battery for X10 from Batterybay(.)net
light usage it actually goes 4 days and heavy usage in general it's 3 days or less, most usually 2
Because of the large screen(maybe?) reading manga or looking at a pic for a few hours, or basically just keeping screen on for a few hours drains it a lot, I recall reading manga for hours then it reduced to just 2 days or less but overall Im really satisfied this battery even if the extra thickness is quite compromise in looks
Thank you guys
I bought 2 batteries and a charger for under 10$ off eBay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-X-BST-41-...156309?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3f18642695
I wasn't expecting much but these are working great. I keep one on the charger and switch when I need to. They seem to be exactly like the original... although I'm pretty sure they aren't but so far they are lasting as long as the original battery.
For under 10$ they are definitely worth a try IMHO
If you have a look at a mobile outlet or major store you can usually find a section with outdated accessories, that's where I found mine. And as a side note, the non official batteris don't last as long as you may think. I hade a 3200mah battery (some no-name brand) that only lasted a few hours longer that the original. Buying a good quality battery with a larger capacity just isn't cost effective.
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

I use my phone a lot, sms and facebook.
And I can't really get through a whole day. 10hour, even 4 if me and my gf have a lot of time.
Will this have any improvements on me or just 1hour+ ?
And what about this:
