I usually wouldn't care about the size of my G1 and adding thickness to it for the sake of adding battery life but as of late I gotten a hold of a nice plastic cover for my G1 which also doubles as a neato belt clip (for only 10 bucks... flirtin with them T-Mobile ladies does me good ).
Thus, now adding thickness to my phone in exchange for getting rid of this hard cover/belt clip isn't a option I'm very likely to take up and last I checked up on high capacity batteries it would add sigificant thickness like a 2100mah (or was it 2400 *shrugs*). Was wondering if there's any batteries that doesn't add to overall physical size while giving me better then stock life of just 1100mAh. Thanks!!
I know how you feel, I have a sexy ass neon green hard case for my g1, make it look sick. I had the same problem and tried three different battery retailers online for an extended life battery. The one that I settled on was the Andida: check out this post. You can find the eBay seller most of the people in the thread bought it from, good seller but ships from Hong Kong so shipping takes a while. I'd solidly recommend the Andida, I've had nothing but excellent performance out of it, considerably better than the OEM battery from HTC. Some people had mixed reviews about it, but in my experience, it was an excellent purchase.
I'm also using an Andida battery I bought off of ebay for just under $10, and it works beautifully! It's a 1600mAh battery with the exact same dimensions as the stock 1150mAh battery HTC provides, giving you 40% more battery life between charges without adding any thickness to the phone. It's the highest capacity battery I've found that doesn't require you to get a deeper back cover.
I've been useing the Innocell 1400mAh battery and its worked out quite nicely.
i use the regular battery, and it works for me 2 days, with lots of use and 3g use

Sounds good I wanna try I like my hard cover too much,plus its big enough with just hardcover I don't want my g1 get more pregnant lol
I bought a Seidio 1400 battery off eBay and now I carry an extra battery in my computer bag.
Another vote for the Andida. It's SO much better and no added thickness
well.. so many votes for Andida I guess I'll also have to give it a look

Not necessarily lies. Battery life is heavily dependent on your particular rom.
Hero based roms seems to suck battery like no tomorrow.
If you are running a hero based rom, try running the latest Cyanogen rom and post back results.
I get a couple of days on my Fommy 1700 regularly.

Anyone used this one?
edit:
Screw it, I'm ordering one, and I'll let you all know how it does. I remember how much I loved the heft of my treo 755p... still miss that phone sometimes, but the g1 does all the things that I loved it for and more, all it needs is the gigantic battery life, and now it may have it.
just strap a 12v car battery to your phone / bike / back ? i thought my 2400mah was big. wowzers.

I considered this, until I realized all the hardware that I'd need to drop the voltage from 12 to 3.7 efficiently....
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.

Wait wait - the other thread is about Jin Dian brand, this is Deji brand
good
Good call vlissine.
Yep, the Deji is what I got and I can't recommend it.
I will be looking for the Jin Dian brand 1420mAh.
They print whatever they want on the batteries. I even got one which says 1800 mAh ! At least as I said Jin Dian looks professionally made and of reasonable capacity.

Hi vlissine, can you share the link once again? The link from the other thread is dead and I can't seem to find Jin Dian battery on ebay.
I did a comparison between three types of batteries here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=920930
May I ask someone with DEJI battery to repeat my test, so that we can compare the results?
Btw, the test showed that Jin Dian is not that good as I percieved. JPT is much better.
sorry, duplicate post

Deji battery tested - new results table attached.
Im gonna buy a new battery so Ill browse the local china stores and check whats around, if nothing fits ill grab that deji from website, will post tests later.
Ordered the Deji battery from Dinodirect. It's already at Brazil. Waiting customs to finally get it.

I tested the battery and I think it's very good.

It's more performance then original battery
I have a Deji, and it's good. I've used it for 9+ months now and it's a good stock replacement. Performance for the 1st few months were great, but now it can only last 17 - 20 hours. before it could do 24ish.
The Deji quality looks better than the crap you get on ebay and it looks like a legit china battery brand. Comes in a metal case and some warranty cards.
Who cares of the numbers are fake. the battery isn't that expensive anyway. it's atleast as good as stock.
about two month ago, i bougt a deji bst-38 battery at dinodirect and i can agree, that u have more battery-performane.
my experience is, that the deji let my x10mini pro about 4h longer online than the original battery of se.
and for this price. WOW!!

Interesting. If nobody replies I think I will buy one in a week or so.
Great! I haven't got any money, so I can't buy this battery, but I hope so you'll write what about this battery you think
interesting, thanks to someone who buy this ;P
Could do with a bigger battery, might buy it.
Price is pretty decent. All battery prices for G1 batteries have dropped compared to a few years ago.
The price for this one is probably less than I paid for my 1st replacement.
Its price is a lot less than the 2600 mAh one from Seido http://www.seidioonline.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=BACY26TMG1-BK The Seido battery makes the G1 even look more like a brick then it already does
Looks like a good alternative if the claims from the manufacturer are correct.
Usually they are not....
I hope that after three months, battery does not begin to lose their power.

Got it a while ago. Not actually performing that high, more like 1700 mAh. Still a nice improvement. This battery +14 MB ram hack + way underclocking when screen off = ~2 days use.
So.. Better to buy 1700mAH battery? I have a Eclair with Sense on my G1 and I have underclocking when screen is off. 2430mAH or 1700mAH ?

Well 2 days use is a lot more than what i get.
I used gps logger from fully charged with screen off. It lasted 12 hours to 27%.
If the battery under performs, you can always send it back.

Yes and no
I bought the battery off ebay and it said (in the page desc. and on the battery) 2300 mAh, but I asked the seller and they said it is a 1700 (don't think we can get li-ion that small for that much juice for that price...yet). So get the biggest you can get. I also bought a big-ass battery (one that doubles the thickness), and that is a true 2400+ battery.
*I should clarify. Use for me=calls and texts. Wifi is almost always off and no data. Sorry, I know nearly no one does it like this. I have no data plan and got this phone for really cheap to mess around with android. Now I have a nook color that I'm using for everything
Before the nook color I could last a full day (7-10) and maybe be at 10%, but I never did too much surfing or anything, just email and whatnot.
The super large battery could easily last 2 days of heavy use (on it w/everything on for 7 hours?), if you don't mind a pocket bulge.

so its a 1700 and not a 2400 as advertised? why would they confirm that to you? lol not calling you a liar so apologies!

anyone has updates on the 2400mAh batt????
Hi guys:
Is it possible to use a battery from another phone? Because sometimes chinese mobiles can be compatible with Nokia's batteries and for a little amount of money, we can get some cooler Nokia's ones.
I'm getting a ZTE Blade this week, so I will tell you my impressions ASAP.
Regards.
I wouldn't recommend using any other battery than the official one provided. You're asking for trouble otherwise.
Why not? If it has the same voltage and fits perfect, there isnt any reason for using this battery. There are other manufacturers of mobile phone batteries that make compatible batteries, so It wouldnt have any problem.
Anyone tried it? I will make a study of MP batteries and then I will tell you if I found something interesting.
Regards
why would you do that when a new oem battery is so affordable?

Hope that it will solve all battery problems.

Interested aswell in the review,was considering carrying a spare battery but this looks handier.
I considered using another battery too, but this option has multilple advantages:
1) It has 1900 mhAmp, so it lefts 500 mAmphs free to make another charge.
2) I'm using two smartphones, so I can charge both ones.
3) I don't need another charger or charging it in the phone and removing it. I just charge the emergency charger and I can use the phone again.
BTW, my ZTE Blade seems to be the AMOLED version, with low battery consumption. I'm using stock GB firmware, and after a day using 2G network, WiFi, playing Angry Birds for 30 minutes, using Whatsapp and a few phone calls, I have 30% left. SO I'm quite impressed with battery life, hope it will be as good as my Samsung Wave (I use it around 2-3 days with no problems)
I will make a full review when I will receive the charger.
Regards.
I bought the 2800mAh version of that charger, and man does it work great.
I suppose it's the only must have accessory I can think of to a smartphone.
