I've ordered 2 of these (2 batteries & 2 external chargers). I can't believe how cheap they are and the seller claims they are compatible with the HTC Hero (Sprint). He also appears to have fairly great feedback.
I'll let you know how they work out when they arrive.

This might be more what your looking for mate ... http://cgi.ebay.com/for-Sprint-HTC-...Accessories?hash=item3a53d22232#ht_2442wt_802
Yep, they work. I now have 2 HTC Heros, each with 3 batteries & 2 wall chargers. They're slim enough to fit one or even two in my wallet without too much extra bulk.
So glad I ditched that POS iPhone.
it looks good! but i am very concern about the quality as you know that battery always explode nowadays!
thanks for posting the link, I'm also going try the battery out and see if they would blow lol
I've got them two weeks ago, using them since. One of them have in wallet (haven't used this one yet) and the other one is in the phone - original is back in the box.
They're ok, little bit weaker than original, but for this price. One thought - I had to use the pile to get them into the phone, they were a 1mm too long
Weaker than the originals? They should be better lol.
And you guys are buying batteries for that cheap and really arent worried about them either a)exploding or b) overheating and melting or melting internal components in the phone .. ?? The quality cant be that great
Now that I'm using Android and my phone's life has been extended, I wanted to extend its battery life too. Branded extended life batteries are really expensive at retail. Seidio and mugen both sell 3000+mah for something like $80. HTC sells a smaller 2150 for around $40.
According to batteryboss.org, HTC's 2150 battery (rhod170) is pretty much the only battery that meets its mah rating, so I went hunting for a good price on one. Found this one for $5 shipped, or $7.51 for two if you want to better your odds. Figured it was either fake or used or otherwise had issues, but I got mine in the mail and it has zero contact wear and looks the spitting image of the legit rhod170. Seller has 5 left at the time of this posting. You can easily find other batteries advertised as rhod170 for $10 shipped, but it's always anyone's guess if they're legit or not. I had to roll the dice with no idea, and I thought someone else would appreciate hearing that this particular seller shipped 2 rhod170s that very much appear to be legit. Took about 1 week to receive from NY.
You need the extended cover to go with it. The cheapest I could find was from batteries4less, which you can shave another 10% off with save10 coupon code. It does look exactly like the OEM, with both HTC and verizon branding, however my particular one bulges a little in the middle when attached, like it isn't latching as well there. It isn't really noticeable unless you're looking for it, and it could be the fault of one of the drops my phone has taken over the years. Shipped quick, maybe 3 business days.
With both battery and cover, YMMV. I won't know for a couple of days at least what the lifespan is. And I'm still looking for a program that I can use to get accurate, easy-to-compare bench information from. Suggestions on that front are welcome. My original battery 1500 mah battery has been in use nearly 24/7 for almost 2 years. I'm not sure a comparison to that would be helpful to anyone.
See (someone else's) pictures here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=578388&page=2
How much longer is the battery working?
Since my last battery was in use for almost 2 years, I'm not sure comparison to it is worth anything. Battery life was atrocious. I basically kept it perpetually plugged in with just a few hours a day away from an outlet of some sort. I had cables everywhere to keep it charged. Now I can go 2 days of moderate use without plugging it in. I'm very pleased, especially given the price.
Couple of months ago, i bought the rhod 170 from ebay, using it since than, but to be honestly, the batterylife isnt much longer than the original one.
I think i have bought a FAKE one, this one is RED ( not black like at the picture )

5usd is very cheap ( maybe too cheap ) are you sure it is orginal htc battery, and no chinese garbage?
This website had the same battery
http://www.wirelessground.com/tilt2extbatt.html
It looks like the orginal htc battery, you can also look to the video with the guy who looks like he woke up couple of seconds ago, and inmediately started making the video. The website you gave is 6 times cheaper.. isnt that a little bit
suspiciously?

I have no new information. Mine still looks real and it still gives me better battery life than my OEM 1500 ever did, even though XDAndroid isn't as battery friendly as winmo.
If you're considering grabbing one of the same, you're gambling, just a little less than if you got a similarly priced rhod170 from a seller with no positive feedback yet. You can hedge a little more by buying 2 and hoping at least one works to spec. If you want a guarantee, you'll have pay $40ish to a well-known outfit that takes returns.
The cover on the picture you posted looks very thick, thicker than you actually need.
I bought this one
http://www.ebay.com/itm/HTC-TOUCH-P...ccessories&hash=item23148ba3ce#ht_1765wt_1397
Its a high quality cover, and its smaller than the one you showed. No need to carry a ticker phone if it can be smaller . it fits the 2150 mah battery perfect
Looks the same thickness to me (though black is a slimming color), and there's no spare room in mine. Both are made by HTC, it's just the one you got was designed for the GSM while mine was CDMA.
I have ordered 2 pieces. lets see what it gives me. Do you have any information about how to use it first time ? ( fully charge ) downcharge etc..

I've read varying views on that. Lithium Ion batteries like these don't have memory effect, however, there might still be metering issues (relating your phone's ability to measure how much battery power is actually left). In android, I used a utility that wiped out past information collected on my 1500mah (don't know if there is a winmo analog) and did a full charge and full discharge right off the bat. Since then, I've kept it topped off as there is unanimous agreement that you shouldn't discharge lions often.
That's what I did, but I can't promise it's the best way. I have no inside information, that's just what I've culled from contradictory sources.
Do they also ship to the netherlands?
I couldn't tell ya, but since the particular seller I linked is out of stock of the batteries, I'm not sure it matters.
i like chichitec's slim extended battery, bought 2 of them with a wall chager for $30 a while back, 1900mAh each. One of them lasts me 2 days but I full charge at night out of habit and not wanting to be stuck without phone on 2nd day even though I only reach 60-70% after first day lol
fortunz, i see you have a rhod500, do you know if that battery works with a rhod400 as well?
---------- Post added at 07:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:29 PM ----------
Correct me if I'm wrong - but after searching, it appears the answer is yes.
Would the BTE6875 be equivalent to the RHOD170?
My 2 cents
Mugen batteries are the best. They are the only extended slim batteries I have ever tried that actually live up to the name extended and outperform the stock batt. I have had 4 of their batteries for various devices and this week I just got the first for my Rhod and what a difference! Don't know why I waited so long to get one... I guess the rhod was just supposed to tie me over til WP7 came out... but now it looks like I'm trying to hold out for windows 8 (or 64bit cpu).
At any rate you can try to find a good one on Ebay for $10 and buy 4 different ones in the process, or you can do what I would recommend and spend $35 just buy Mugen.

They have links for 4 diff models too!
Here is a tough one.
I have the option of a refund from my retailer until the end of the month, if I return my HTC one S that I use now. Would you think it's worth it to get the S3 instead?
I have held iny hand the s2 and the design of did not amaze me, nor its speed. HTC is much better in those aspects.
Only downsides for me on the s3 are the huge size of it with that big screen and potentially a battery issue due to he screen.
Having said that, a bigger battery most likely will be out
sent with HTC1S
Why don't you have a quick Google for the battery specs of the two phones? The S3 battery is huge - certainly should be more than enough extra oomph to cover the requirements of that screen.
And, of course, you can always buy a second battery for the S3 - try doing that for any of the new HTC phones
Yes, I always kept a second battery for my previous phones, not that I really used it, but it was nice to know that after a year if the battery was giving up I could just easily replace it.
I'm intrigued by the fact that it has all the nice features and only wished it wasn't that big really. I usually put the phone iny pocket, and although this is nice and slim, it's as if made for a 6 foot man's hands!

Well I now preordered the Samsung s3 in blue.

Hey i just wondered what battery replacement community uses. Beacuse my usage of about 14h is too small for me, and i want to get more to last through full day or at least two. Heard about no lemon 7k mA pack, what's yours opinion on this one. Is there a better one around? I dont mind bulkines but if you find something smaller i would be grateful
Did you look through the accessories sub forum?

Zerolemon 7ah battery is very good.
Don't take my word for it and pick one up. Its about the same price as a genuine samsung battery

had some slow charging problem and I got this one to see if it fixes it
cannot post links yet (less then 10 posts), search for "New 3250mah High Capacity Battery For Samsung Galaxy S III 3 i9300" on ebay, I bough it from seller moon_city2000
when I bought it from this seller on 14.06.2013 it was just $5.85 with free international shipping, so dirt cheap. On the other hand I haven't really noticed any longer battery life but at least I didn't even noticed the battery life to get worse than with the original so worked fine as a replacement.
I've also weighted both the batteries and they were almost exactly the same, so I doubt the capacity is increased. I know from a friend that the higher the capacity (while having the same size) the higher the weight is.
Hi all,
I'm just wondering what power bank will work best for the new Samsung S8. I'm not making any assumptions about the phone's battery life, but with recent reviews and posts about the S8, having a power bank seems like a good idea. What are your recommendations? I was looking at the Xaiomi Power Bank 2.

I don't think any particular brand stands over the rest. I'd say go with something with at least 6,000 mAh and it should be fine.Try to do a bit of research on the ones you find, Amazon reviews and YouTube reviews are my usual go-to.
USB-C ports, wireless charging and fast charge are definitely a plus when looking for specific features. I'm personally using the Anker PowerCore 10000 right now for my 6P and other devices. While I don't have the S8 yet, the fast charge is compatible with S6 and S7 and I don't see why it wouldn't be compatible with the S8. In terms of brands, my go-to is Anker. I've heard good things about Aukey and Xiaomi, but haven't had any experience with them personally.

That Anker doesn't support Quick Charge.
I'm going to see how the battery life is first before ordering a power bank. No point wasting money if the battery is decent.
I've been looking for a power bank and the anker listed above looks ok, but I'm sure I've seen the same thing that supports quick charge.

Whoops, my mistake. I meant to post this one. I had gotten confused since I ordered mine on amazon.ca and didn't match up the item id # when finding the same product on .com.

Which reviews? The ones I've seen show slightly less/equal/slightly better battery life than the exynos S7 edge.
Go with Anker. They're rated the highest when it comes to portable chargers. I've got one with 20100 mah, which lasts me all day on multiple devices.
Well, it was my first day with the Samsung S8. Just have to say, what a beautiful device. Feels awesome in your hand and the battery life is great too. I'm currently at 25%. Have 4h 5min screen on time (using WQHD+). Listened to Spotify all day through my headphones and my cars Bluetooth. I am so glad that I went with the smaller version. It fits perfectly in my hands. The positioning of the fingerprint sensor is not bothersome (to me anyway). I got big hands, so it is easily reached. As for right now, a power bank is not needed. But I will take into consideration Ankers products. Thank you all and have a good night!
This is one I got a few months ago and it been working for me. I got it when it was on sale. I paid $17.99 for it.

Xiaomi Power Bank is best for Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus . It is light in weight and have thin body. This power bank offers you conversion rate up to 93%; hence optimizing its charging and discharging efficiency.
Anker QC. 3.0 20000 mah and it works great
I use the one Samsung put out with the note 7 last year. Works amazing. But I haven't seen it fit sake anymore

Two of my friends have that and find it an excellent charger.
Whatever you decide on, if you're buying it on Amazon or using Amazon reviews as a guide to eventually buy elsewhere, be sure to run a check of the reviews thru reviewmeta.com
They have a Chrome extension as well, which if clicked while on any Amazon site will open the report in a new tab.
It does an incredibly detailed analysis of everything from wordcount, previous reviews by those reviewers that was taken down, incentivized reviews, verified review percentage and tons more.
Best site I've discovered in years.
If you need a USB C fast charger, fast charge battery pack and fast wireless charger, this bundle is $99 from Verizon and comes in 3 choices of colors for the fast wireless charging stand:
