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.

* In order to obtain the full capacity of your 3500MAH Extended Life Motorola Droid 3 Battery, we highly recommend that you leave the battery/your phone on the charger for an additional 2-3 hours after the charging indicator turns green or the battery status shows full.

That'd be like telling someone to continue microwaving their Hotpocket for an extra 10 minutes after it exploded. Definitely glad I went to HTC for a new battery.

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

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

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.

Just ordered at Amazon for $25. Batteries are 1800mah. Not many reviews but all are saying that there are NO boot loops and that they work with original back cover. My guess is that these are NOT NFC batteries. They should last at least as original battery. I'll update post when I find out.
http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Sams..._12?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1321308449&sr=1-12
UPDATE
I tested my Hyperion batteries and they have about 5% LESS juice compared to stock battery. Another gripe is that charger output is rated as DC 4.2V 350mA (but mostly performs well below) so because of that, in my case, it takes 6+ hours to fully charge completely discharged battery. Some people reported 4 hours to fully charged state so each to it's own. If you charge phone thru charger's USB output you'll get full 750mA charge.
Anyway, considering all positives, negatives and price, I'm satisfied with this purchase and this is viable option for I777.
Positives
- no boot loops
- same form factor
- charger charge stock battery as well
- price (2 batteries and charger $25)
- extra USB output outlet (750-800mA)
Neutral
- batteries hold close to stock (it was expected knowing that weigh and size of batteries don't differ much compered to stock)
- not NFC compatible (not much of use for NFC right now)
Negative
- slow battery charging (~350mA)
- batteries hold ~12% less then advertised (~5% less then stock battery)
- once it gets below 20% it drains faster. Especially true for last 10%.
Maybe it'll get better over time. If someone found a way to properly calibrate this battery to show full potential, don't be shy, let us know.
http://batteryboss.org/
UPDATE 2
See post #14!
I recieved these batteries/charger last Tuesday. The batteries work fine, seem to hold close to the same charge as the stock battery. Charger works fine with both stock and replacement batteries. No NFC. They actually seem just very slightly thinner than the stock battery, I'm certain they couldn't possibly rate a full 1800mah. Either way, I'm cool with it...between these two Hyperion and my two stock Samsung batteries, I have completely stopped worrying about battery life and I can enjoy my device.
Thanks for heads up! I'm looking to have same experience with these batteries. And I'm glad to hear that charger works with stock battery as well.

I've been cycling between the hyperion batteries and my stock battery for the last few days.
I've noticed that my battery life drops twice as fast with hyperion vs stock. Has anybody else noticed this? Usage is the same and I'm running CM7.
Is this some weird calibration issue and the battery actually has more than is reported?
I think it's the hyperion batterys, i bought one a few Weeks back but its 8% lesser battery life then stock atleast for me..

Yep. It takes 4-5 full charges to "properly" calibrate, but don't worry, it'll hold close as stock battery.

I wish the battery capacity was the same as Samsung OEM battery. It seems much less than 5% lower capacity.
Since battery life and tracking is very important to me because it's the best indicator of whether things are working alright, I just bit the bullet and ordered the $30 OEM battery. I'll hold on to the hyperion batteries for travel and emergencies, but I'm leaving them out of my "rotation" (I like to avoid charging and just swap batteries every night).
Or if I'm going to play a CPU/GPU intensive game for 4-5 hours, I'll throw in the hyperion battery just to kill it

As I told you before, battery life will improve after 5 full charges/discharges, unless you got bad batch. In that case you should exchange it for new ones.
I tested mine with Battery Monitor Widget Pro and 100% charge show 4188mV and 1% charge show 2940mV while stock battery goes down to 3022mV. So there is potential for Hyperion to last longer then stock but somehow it drains faster. If someone knows answer I would be glad to hear it. I would continue with calibration and testing and report back if there is any new findings. For now, they last 5-6% less then stock.
Anyway, first week of using Hyperion they lasted 20% less then stock so I bought same as yours stock battery with charger for $30 from Amazon. Stock is stock. LOL

Oh my goodness! Massive improvement! I mean huge! I was so stupid. The key was in deleting Battery stats in Recovery before Rom boots.
Follow these steps;
1. Power off the phone
2. Replace battery with fully charged Hyperion battery
3. Boot into Recovery by holding volume+, volume- and Power button. Release all three buttons when Galaxy S2 logo shows 2nd time.
4. Go to advanced and delete battery stats
5. Go back and restart the phone
6. Enjoy much better battery life
I will do proper comparison with stock battery when I get some free time. If someone do it before me feel free to post results.
My guess is that battery life improved somewhere between 10-20%!

FYI I got two Anker (1900mAh) off Amazon yesterday. It fits and works but a few times today the battery icon shows a ? and the settings show -1%. After about a minute the correct % comes back, not sure if it's the batteries or just this one. I'll try the second one tomorrow.
Really interested to get an opinion on battery life with the Anker batteries.
I am probably going to end up using them as backups, both of them take time before the % of power left will display. I never got the full 5 discharge/recharge done on one of them, but even without that it was lasting longer then the stock, as it should. I see someone else ordered some too, I'll be interested to see if those have the display issue.

Can you give any indication of how much more than stock you would say they last? Is it the near 20% as it should be?
I also get the question mark on the battery, It seems to be when the phone wakes up or when I plug it in it takes a few seconds to find the juice amount then it will start charging..
The battery is lightly taller then stock but it fits perfectly inside of the phone case. Tobad about the battery meter. Im going to run it for the day see if the ? will stop.
I would advise not to buy yet.
i too have the "?" on grey market batteries
i have bought several grey market batteries and get the question mark also, i've noticed these batteries are 3.7v and the oem battery is 3.8, i wonder if that is the culprit? I am hoping these hong kong manufacturers will get it right soon, i did find an oem battery for about $23 after shipping and am contemplating buying it, and yes my chargers don't fully charge my oem battery either, its always at 91 or 93%

Seriously; I have 2 "High-Capacity Gold Batteries", 1930 mAh, for my Titan.
When plugged in they show either 255% or -1% charge, never go back to normal.
When unplugged, they never show 100% charge, maximum of about 94%.
They seem to last about the same as the stock battery...
Hi, you have to full restore your HTC Titan (Backup recommended) if you get a new battery pack! I guess it indicates what the specs are in the battery. I know this because I bought a new battery pack and I had this problem! So I full restored my phone and now it's fine!
Maybe we might have a 3500mah batt for the rezound!!!!
I have been a little disappointed with the rezound's extended battery and have had good experiences with siedio batteries on the Dinc.
I called siedio and they said that they wont be making an ext batt for the rezound. So in my searches for a battery i came across this
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l2736&_nkw=htc+rezound+batt
It seems that the same batt is used on the Rezound, thunderbolt and the mytouch 4g. I also come to find Seidio makes a 3500mAH batt for the t-bolt.
http://www.seidioonline.com/thunderbolt-innocell-3500-extended-battery-black-p/bacy35htmec-bk.htm
So the question i have is to any previous owners of the t-bolt or the mytouch:
Does the batt from these phones work in the rezound?
and
If yes - does the 3500mAH t-bolt seidio batt fit in the rezound with the rezound extended case. I currently have a call into Seidio's tech supp. hopefully they will give me an answer.
I sure wouldn't mind an extra 750mah on my rezound.
I just got a call back from Seidio tech support.
They told me that the batt works but doesn't register on the batt meter.
He said he actually had it in his hand and was testing it in a Rezound but he didnt have an extended back so i dont know if the verizon one will work.
He also measured the batt and said it is just under 1cm thick.
He said the phone powers up and seems to be working but he doesn't know what the long term performance would be like.
I guess there is electronics in the batt that communicates with the phone to track batt life.
Oh well don't know if i want to take a $70 chance with this.
It would be great if someone out there who has this battery could verify it.
I think I recall people having issues charging TBolt batteries as well. Not speaking from experience though but something to consider.
KORM via the beast known as the Rezound.
Another disappointing thing the Seidio tech told me - that there will be no 3500mah batt for the Rezound.

All batteries or just HTC t-bolt batteries? I mean does that include the Seidio 3500mah batt?
oh no... another one of these threads.
yes, a MyTouch 4G or Thunderbolt battery will work in a Rezound.
you will notice though that the "Wh"(wattage hours) do not match up(Rezound's being higher) so even though the Seidio one is 3500, it'll perform closer to a 3000 in the Rezound.
additionally, since the battery is not intended for the Rezound it has the potentional to do damage to the Rezound.
back in my Galaxy Nexus days, we found we could use Galaxy S II batteries in it. one of the GN users gave it a go for awhile and the SII battery ended up shorting out his device somehow & he had to get it replaced.

yes, a MyTouch 4G or Thunderbolt battery will work in a Rezound.

Glad someone finally came to the table to help the guy out.
KORM via the beast known as the Rezound.

Oh yes another -
Problems with one phone/battery combo don't necessarily mean there will be the same problems on another.
Keyword - "potential".
It doesn't hurt to ask as someone out there may have tried it with success.
The Rezound or any phone does not have a WH rating. It has a continuous current rating. I don't know about the ratings of these phones but i would assume that the rezound is higher so, with voltage being ~ equal, the power dissipation would be greater.
The battery rating is not dictated by the phone. The battery WH rating is a function of the current/voltage and the dissipation time of the battery and independent of the device consuming it? So a 3500mah battery will deliver "X" mA's of power but for less time than in a mytouch due to the higher current draw (X) of the rezound.
In other words a 3500mah batt will perform like a 3500mah batt regardless of which phone it was intended to be used on.
Did you every buy a Thunderbolt extended battery and try in your rezound? If so does it fit with the Rezound Extended battery back?
guys i just traded my thunderbolt in for a rezound. like a damn idiot i shipped theTB's 3500 extended battery back to verizon but before i returned it, it lasted the same amount as on my TB. im gonna try and get verizon to ship it back to me because this rezound extended battery isnt as good.

Yes. I have the OEM Thunderbolt extended battery (made by HTC) in my Rezound right now. In fact, I've had it in since I bought the phone on ebay over 2 months ago. The previous owner had the OEM Rezound extended battery and back at one point, but lost the extended battery. So he substituted the battery with the extended battery for the HTC Thunderbolt. It has the exact same capacity and dimensions, but is black instead of red.

I tried my OEM thunderbolt battery in my rezound and it showed the battery indicator grayed out. Didn't show how much battery life I had/had left. And it didn't charge at all.
So I would wait until someone confirms that the seidio tbolt battery works in the rezound before buying.
Just buy the HTC extended battery for your Rezound. It lasts me 12-16 hrs of heavy use.

"heavy use" varies from person to person. for me the HTC extended battery lasts 3 - 4 hours "heavy use".
i'm probably just going to order that mugen 4000mah battery.
It's official, it does NOT work
Based on encouraging info here and in other forums, I decided to try this. I ordered the 3500mah battery for the Thunderbolt made by Seidio from Amazon. It came with the Thunderbolt extended battery back (which you do not need) and the battery, in a clear plastic snap-together case.
The battery does indeed FIT inside the Rezound using the extended battery back that I already had from buying the Rezound extended battery from Verizon. The Rezound will power on and will work with this battery, BUT
1. The battery icon on the notification bar will display a strange symbol, where it does not seem to understand the current battery charge level. A workaround would be to load Circle Battery Widget (free from market) which did seem to report an accurate battery level.
2. The killer - you cannot charge the battery using your Rezound, or a Rezound external charger. I plugged in the Rezound to a micro USB charger that I normally use and it looks like it's going to charge for a couple seconds (solid amber LED) but then it starts blinking alternate green and amber on the LED. This means there is a battery issue. Left it plugged in for several hours and the battery did not increase its charge. Also tried removing the battery and using an external charger I had for extra Rezound batteries, and it would not charge in there.
I packed the battery back into its plastic case and returned it to Amazon. They accepted the return and refunded my money.
Disappointing... The stock Rezound battery is useless. Even with an extended battery I have to baby it, turn off 4G and keep WiFi and GPS off unless I need them. Occasionally bump charge it or try to keep it above 70% for several days at a time or else it starts discharging at an alarming rate (dead by noon). So I have chargers next to my bed, in the car, and at work. I miss my old Incredible - with the extended battery I got all day even with 5 hours of GPS during a round of golf and some Wifi at home or work. Boo!
What the hell is wrong with your phone? To be fair, today was a light day with only 3 and a half hours of screen on time so far. But still... No reason the extended can't last the day.

Keep in mind everyone's experience will be different. Most people forget that Android is constantly looking for the strongest signal. The one thing you can be sure of is that everyone's phone will discharge at a different rate for that reason alone.
Beyond that you have to consider cpu speed, app configuration, memory leak, phone configuration, and a whole myriad of other factors that can contribute to drain.
I had the extended battery for about a week. In the areas that I live/work, it performed only marginally better than the stock battery. This was most likely due to how I had my phone configured (mostly conservative towards the end). However, for myself, if I feel I have to run this beast of a phone on minimal settings, there's no real point in having it. I made the compromise to return the extended battery and just buy additional chargers. Indeed, I have one on my nightstand, in the car, and on my work desk. The only time I'm really without a charger around is on the weekends when I go out at night. The stock battery performs fine for those purposes.
I will continue to monitor these threads until a suitable extended battery seems to give the majority of us the performance we need.

For the record
I've used this particular HTC Thunderbolt battery in three different Rezounds, with no issue. It seems to perform equal to the Rezound Extended Battery (both 2750 or 2700).
The part numbers on the battery are THE SAME. So at least for the normal extended battery, they (if part numbers being the same means they are the same) have no compatability issues.

I've been using this in my Rezound for a few weeks now.
So ANYONE getting an Extended Battery for their Rezound, and need a little more juice, GET THIS BATTERY! It's $4! It's a perfectly good 2750 extended battery (completely legit) from HTC (not some garbage third party). They're dumping them as a result of overproduction I assume.
It's worth charging one of these up, and keeping it in your glove compartment for a rainy day (that's where mine is).
Everyone. Should. Get. This. For the price, I don't know how you couldn't. It's just that the HTC logo is upside down from the Rezound's (which doesn't matter).
So as an Extra extended battery, it's 10/10.

I got the OEM Rezound extended battery yesterday. Full charge, lasted a decent amount of time. But nothing great.
But I was on 3g, and did stream about 20mins of video. And I surfed quite a bit. But my evo 3d with the 4000mah battery kills the rezound.
I will have a better feel for the battery now that I am back home and on wifi, then on 4g at work. Thats more of my real life usage.
how much better is the battery with it, i got it and the battery is the same

Im on my 4th day of using the 1900 one. it seems regular to me. ive been fully charging and draining it for a few days now. havent seen a great improvement. oh and props on the supser sayain rom playa. I got like 2 days of battery life with that. are you going to make the newer versions for the 351.3 leak? or does it not really matter.
Damn that sucks. Right now I'm just using the external battery pack when I can't plug in my phone.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
Yeah same here. Not really a huge noticable difference. Then again a change in only about 200mah is not that much anyways. 1700 vs 1900mah
I have an Anker 1900 also. The life of the battery depends on how its conditioned. I also charge it in the phone and not with an external charger and I have noticed the battery life last longer.
I let the battery drain till the phone shuts off then charge it to 100%. I do that with my stock one as well. After a couple of days of doing that I reset my batt stats in recovery (4EXT of course) and continue the process over again.

It's Better To Fail At Originality
Than To Succeed In Imitation.

i have an anker and chichitec. both are better than the oem one. given that the oem one crapped out, i'm not sure how accurate my observations are, though.
One of the first things I did was get an Anker battery and honestly I couldn't tell that much of a difference. Granted I only had the OEM battery for about a week, but it seems like it drains at about the same rate, it might last just the tiniest bit longer, but its not much of a difference.

My OEM is slightly better than either of my two Anker 1900 batteries.
I have not noticed any difference really. I have to charge me batt. every night after a days use. I keep an original batt charged and another anker. I switch them out. no ground breaking changes.
Hello everyone,
Just ran across this site. It looks very good and explains a lot about charging and overcharging Lithium-ion batteries. Hope you find it useful.

the difference between stock amaze batt and anker (i doubt it's full 1900mAh anyway) is about 170mAh. def. not groundbreaking lol
After conditioning my Anker batteries (0-100 charge/discharge 5 times as recommended) using the external charger. I found that on average my batteries lasted about 30% longer than stock. Also I was getting random reboots, the grey battery icon error, incorrect battery % reports with the stock battery. All of that has stopped when using the Anker battery. I have also found that charging with the external charger will allow the Anker to last longer than charging in the phone. The Anker battery seems to operate at a lower temperature also. Overall I have definitely seen a substantial increase in battery life over stock. Although obviously not ground breaking it is a worth while investment especially with it being relatively inexpensive.

I also conditioned mine, and they don't last as well as OEM, certainly not 30% better. Maybe your OEM was defective.

If you want to compare properly – you need to calibrate each battery and use it with its own calibration profile. The results will be quite approximate otherwise.
I asked about app to switch battery profiles – nobody answered yet…
Even if it exists, it’ll work for rooted phones only, most likely…

I should think that a battery would work so long as it was stronger than the profile being used (the % might not be accurate, but it would at least run), but you bring up a good point.
