Another +1 for anker. Bought 2 w/ charger on Amazon and am enjoying longer battery life. The charger can charge battery, plus has a USB port to charge the phone simultaneously.

I bought Mugen on my last device. The stock was 1200mah, Mugen was 1500mah - I have not see any differences.

It's well-known Mugen is the best ;-)

I got the Mugen.
It lasts really longer, something like +40%, so on stock battery and GB my phone was dying quickly after lunch - but now upgraded with Mugen and debloated 4.0.3 - at the very late night.. ;-)
However the indication isn't very precise. The charge indicator drops from 100% till 90% within the first ten minutes after unplugging and further then descends till 0% pretty slow.

I bought 2 "Replacement batteries for HTC Evo 3D, HTC Amaze 4G, HTC Sensation 4G" on Amazon.ca in January, and the batteries have "REPLACEMENT FOR HTC EVO 3D" written in big bold letters on it. The batteries do fit in my Amaze, but they would turn the phone off completely when it was saying 15% battery life.
That pair of batteries came with a battery charger which has been good. I've since lost one of the batteries though. I'm looking into buying new ones. Here are my options (in Canada).
1) 2 Anker batteries that claim to support the Amaze with a universal charger (I can't post a link because I'm new, but theres only 1 Anker battery listing on Amazon.ca if you want to search it)
2) Call 1-888-617-1113 HTC Warranty support and ask them for a new battery. Apparently they give an extra battery for free. I'll likely do this anyways, but I'm not sure if they do this in Canada.
Can I trust the Anker batteries? Does anyone know if the batteries shown on this listing are the right ones for the Amaze? Thanks

Calling this number gets you a free battery as long as you send the old one back. If you don't send in the old one within 15 days your credit card is charged $40.
I know if you complain to T-Mobile they can send you another battery for the processing fee of $5. Of course you need a valid reason. Hopefully the new HTC one will fix some issues.

Amazon.ca Item Number B005B3RFTU fits the Amaze. Just received mine yesterday.
I'm cautiously optimistic - I charged one of these fully with the external charger and have been running it unplugged for 20 hours (9 hours sleeping, 11 with light / moderate use) and am still at 56%. I've not yet calibrated or "conditioned" the batter as per Anker instructions (full charge / deplete 5 times) so I fully expect the phone to die any minute now... or in the next few hours. I'll report back in a few days when I know more.
Edit: I realize that the user I replied to already has these, but I'll check in later anyway in case others are wondering.

The batteries I've tried were only andida and Hyperion . The andida battery gave me 2 to 3 hrs more than stock, stock battery lasted 15 hrs moderate use . The hyperions weren't so great. They would drop from 100 to 75 in about 45min continuous use but after that I would get about 10hrs of moderate use. I could kill the Hyperion in 3 hr of continuously usage. But be carefull wen charging non OEM batteries on phone do not leave them charging over night one time I woke up and phone was really hot to touch and would not turn on untill I did a battery pull.

I'm about half way thru the conditioning as suggested by Anker and will be back with more info soon. So far it seems that they're very much worth the price.

so then would you say the anker battery is worth it? havev u heard on the mugen battery?

---

Yes, the Mugen is a better known brand but way more expensive for about the same mAh. I haven't heard as much about it around here as I have the Anker.
So I just about have the Ankers conditioned and have come to the conclusion that they are far better than stock. The idea that stock is 1730 mAh and these are 1900 mAh is odd to say the least. I'm wondering if a pile of the HTC batteries that everyone has are somehow rated wrong or defective.
After conditioning (fully charge in the external charger / fully deplete in the phone X 5 - seems like overkill, but I'll stick to it) I'll calibrate. I'm expecting that calibrating will improve the run time significantly, because as it is now, I can reboot the phone (usually into recovery), and upon reboot, I get a higher reading. For example, after using the phone for 10 hours, the battery reads 40%. Reboot into recovery says 60%. Reboot into the os gives me 60%. I expect a calibration to mitigate this.
Calibration: Charge with the battery IN the phone with the phone on to 100% / led goes green, unplug, turn off via recovery power down. With power off charge till led is green, uplug, fully boot, turn off via recovery power down again. With the power off charge till led is green once more. This process improved the stock battery, and I expect there to be an improvement on the Anker as well.
After all this is done and I get a chance to stress it for a few days I'll know more.

3.7v is not the right voltage for our phones, which ALL the aftermarket batteries are, this is really annoying to me... and I have since lost my OEM battery, now I don't know where to purchase a new OEM... I am sick of the mis-readings with the anker, I have calibrated this thing and while I do get decent battery life, I don't like that if I forget to charge it BEFORE I go to sleep so I can unplug as soon as it's green, then I wake up to a hot phone, and if I can tell my phone is hot through a Trident Kraken case, then I'm quite sure it's not good for the phone or battery...
so anyone know where to purchase a genuine amaze oem battery?
