Well I'm in the market for a new regular sized battery. Since the andida ones are gone now these seem to be the largest non extended batteries I could find. 2 1400mah batteries for 10 bucks. I know that the seidio is good but I'm cheap. I'm just wondering if anyone has tried this battery out?
I might just bite and if I do I'll give a quick review.
i just bought those a couple days ago arrived today they seem to be just like the original but idk i havent calibrated yet so ill see
How bout a link for those batteries, i'll try em out.
If its cheap...its fake. This is a fact amongst cellphone batteries.
I've purchased the Seidio one and it was great. I got a full days use
out of it even on my 10 hour shift at work on 3G all day.
Now if I started playing video games on it...then it would still of course
drain fairly quickly. But for average use its fantastic.
Well worth the $40.

Yes, I know ebay has batteries. I've gotten a couple off there. but I was wondering about the 1400mah.
Whoops wrong link.

Thanks.
I too am unsure about those. But will most likely get them when I get paid.....in a month.
But if you buy them, please do a review, with measurements of the battery also, as its not hard to put a sticker on a normal battery.
My preliminary non scientific tests seems to show that the new battery is a bit better and lasts a good 3-4 hours more than the stock after a full discharge and recharge. I can do a real test and measure the run time with playing a video on a loop or something.
I'm about to buy the exact same batteries only from Amazon.com, any feedback on whether they're any better than the stock battery and can actually hold a charge?
The reason why i bought this battery is because i wanted to end my work shift with at least 20-30 percent(on a single battery) f obattery left to make phone call if needed, extend my phone usage away from a charger and longer web searching and the Andida 2000mAh didn't help at all. The result
OEM Battery 1500mAh: listening to music from 4 to 1am = 10% battery life left
Andida 2000mAh: ran 3 test each time my phone ended up dying around 11:30-12:00 this battery is not 2000mAh it somewhere around 1100-1300 it make an good back up battery but not an good extended battery.
I well be running some more test, like how long it last on 3G compared to the OEM battery but as of now i see theres no need to.
If you need an extra battery this is worth the money, but if you need an extended battery its not.
I got mine about 2 weeks ago. Haven't seen anything Earth-shattering as far as performance under normal use, but I watched a 2 and half hour movie on the device yesterday and it only went down to 50%.

i listen to alot of music etc etc daily when im at work so that when i would be able to see if its really a big change. I always end the night with about 10 percent of battery life.
Not terrible
I'm using a pair of these, with an external charger. I don't see that they provide a lot of advantage over the original HTC 1500Ma battery that came with my TP2, but they are an acceptable substitute.
One thing to keep in mind - I think they are heavier than the stock batteries. They are advertised as LiPoly, but I think they are LiIon.

It's under $10. Even if it's only as good as the stock battery it is well worth the money considering the stock one costs about $40. Even an OEM off eBay is as much as $16.

for an extended battery it not, i was looking for extended battery life without having to switch to another battery but this battery didnt do its job 2000mAh i don't think so its at least 1100-1300 i notice my battery died faster even on normal usage compared to the OEM. I honestly had enough of it :\... about to add some MM to my TP2 and get a bigger battery.

You are using the US T-Mobile version, from what I can see in the pix you posted; the only one available is the Mugen 3200, it runs about $79. I have not considered it because it really makes the back of the phone stick out. And it is expensive.
I buyed an used Touch pro 2. so i dunno how was the OEM battery when it was new. When i replaced with this 2000 mAh it nearly double up the battery life. From my site there is full satisfaction.

Aside from the poor English in your post, there's no way a 2000mAh battery is giving you double the battery life or even close to it. It is only 33% higher capacity than the stock battery.

Np, i full charge and completely drain the battery and still the same results
After 2 days of use the stock Rezound battery can easily last me 10+ hours of use, so I've been on the lookout for a higher capacity battery that keeps the slim profile of the phone, as opposed to the larger 2750mAh external pack that adds a hump to the back.
Stumbled upon this today:
http://shop.htcpedia.com/htc-rezound-extra-capacity-battery-1800mah.html
An extra 180mAh puts it close to what the GNexus would ship with, and just might be enough of a boost for the light/moderate users. I'm just hoping that the rating is indeed 1800mAh and not one of those cheap knock-offs that can barely keep up with the stock 1620mAh.

Ive had my eye on that battery as well, wont be instock till next week though, since the thunderbolt battery fits in this phone I have been contemplating buying one of the slimmer extended batteries used for it and using it in the rezound, atleast they are already tried and tested so we know which ones are working as advertised.
you must be a minimal user to get the battery to last that long.
after doing some streaming(or downloading), watching some videos & browsing the web, the phone lasts about 2 - 3 hours w/ stock.
(yes i know about bump charging, calibrating, etc)
strange, the battery is no longer listed on the htcpedia rezound accessory page, but the link still works

If the 1800 is a good quality battery and can fit in the standard back plate I'm down to get it. get about 4.5 hours is display on time right now so I'm cool with that. But if it was 5 or more I'd be even more down lol.

2 to 3 hours?!? wtf? My battery lasted 26 hours on a full charge before it died! That was setting up the phone after a factory reset and then streaming high quality music over slacker at various times. I set the phone to airplane mode while I was sleeping.
So did any1 ever get their hands on this one?

I am wary about any off brand batteries that list only small gains like that. Seeing as how there is no HTC branding, I am betting this is an off brand.
Now for a link to a lengthy post, that I do not wish to retype, explaining why I think these batteries are a sham.

I have to think that legit companies like Seidio don't do this when they sell extended batteries.
Their 1750 for the Eris/Incredible (came with 1300mah) really did seem to add hours of life to the usability of the phones. I must assume that some companies rate things in terms of usability, and some do _not_
pko, i had that 1750, and it didn't do crap. the life of it lasted much less than HTC batteries did; seideio makes crap batteries that are a sham. many people did studies and found it was barely a 1400 mah battery. i bought the stock HTC 1500 mah battery fort he inc and it added more time than the 1750.

I had the same exact experience.
For those who fail to see increased usage time using non-oem batteries, could you mention also the brand of those batteries? I am in the market for a larger-capacity battery (only when they will come out in the near future, I hope). And based on the reviews on Amazon there are a couple of brands that seems to be receiving fairly consistent positive reviews.
I picked a pair of these up on ebay yesterday. Came with the charger (which is what I *really* want, as I already got a second stock battery on sale) and another power cord (which you can never have too many of).
I used similar OEM batteries in my Incredible, also 1800's which just barely fit inside the "default" back. I'll report back on my experience after I have them and run them for a few days. I did find that the ones in my Incredible ran pretty well.
I know everyone's pretty cautious about OEM stuff on ebay, but I only buy from USA sellers with near 100 ratings, and I have never been sorry. On the other hand, my Seidio extended battery pretty much burnt out about 9 months after I got it.

Beware the placebo effect. Also know that people have a tendency to try to justify their choices. Make a bad purchase and you find ways to turn it positive.
Those things can color reviews.

should come in today so i can see over the weekend if its any improbement.
EDIT: these register an error (the exclamation mark over the battery) and do not charge in the phone)
As much as I hated to do it, I found that simply disabling 4G extended my battery life a lot. I figure that 3G is fine for GPS or email, but if I want to download a file or something more intense, I can quickly enable 4G and then disable when I am done.
Not optimal, but it is free and most of the time basic tasks with low amounts of data being transferred don't really benefit from 4G, so why take the battery life hit if you don't have to?
When I want to stream a movie or something, or upload a large picture to FB, or maybe a video to YouTube, then I put 4G on and then it makes a big difference...
Hey,
I was trawling the internet for some cheap extended batteries. (my only other experience with them was the official HTC one for the HD2).
I heard someone saying that there is a good 3500mah one going on Amazon for £11. I'm presuming he meant this as it is the first result: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ecell-3500M...A9ZW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1333452409&sr=8-1
After a quick search on ebay I found the same battery for £5.99! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3500mah-H...ltDomain_3&hash=item256aa12a8e#ht_2235wt_1024
But is it any good? Has anyone had any prior experience with unbranded batteries?
Thanks,
Louis
never go for it, no use, this are fake chinese battery, i got one for evo 4g. it was told to be 3500 but it was not even 1000 mah.

That is usually true for the batteries that sit inside the original casing, but not the extended ones?

I got this on amazon and has been doing calibration with the battery monitor widget and its calibrating out to at least 2500mah. One peculiar thing is the first 40% or so drop by very fast, but then from 50-30 percent it last a lot longer, this has been notice by another poster also. the battery door is also decent, first generation soft touch rubber coating type material and not as ugly as the Seidio door

You buy many spare batteries for the amount an original battery costs. One spare battery made in China is about € 2,50.
What the real capacity is doesn't matter, as long it does it job as spare battery, you can always order a second one.
Also would it be better to buy the 3500mah and use that as primary. or buy something like this:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/High-Qual...ultDomain_3&hash=item43ab4ef97d#ht_2079wt_805
And use it as a secondary battery? Which would provide the best overall battery life?

that is hard to say, because everybody usage pattern is different, but even if its only 2500mah it still comes to 50% more capacity then the stock 1700mah.
Last night charge cycle adjust it to about 2700 mah, I don't think its settle down yet, seem the more charge history the widget collect the more accurate the calibration should be.

Thats true. But, seriously i was not happy with the backup it provides. It was 50% of the oem.
as in for spare this is great. you can also try anker one, its great and cheap.
btw, it was about extended.

Guys dont trust some of these batteries. I bought a few of these similar type batteries cause they were really cheap 2 for $9.99 with charger. This has been discussed to death already. I bought another set of 3x + 1 charger. They didnt last long at all. I peeled the stickers on all of them at they were all had 1000mah stamped on it but the sticker says 1800mah. This has been pointed out here before too. It was a complete waste of time and a hassle trying to get my $ back. Seller didnt bother taking the batteries back. For the total of $20 I spent and headache I couldve just bought and anker or chichitec. Which I did. I bought 2x 1900mah anker + charger for 24.99 a while back and they have been great. Been using them for 10 months now and last slightly longer than stock. I will look for the thread so you guys can do some reading but it did get pretty lengthy. Spend the extra $5 or even $10 and dont go for these cheap batteries.
Here's the thread. Take time to read it and it may be worth your trouble later down the road.

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.
