Like most people I find that the battery life with my Evo 3D is carp. I was thinking about upgrading the battery - does anyone have any comments on how the 2 batteries mentioned above compare? Is there much of a difference from the stock battery?
Thanks
I've never heard of Saner. We've had Anker 1900 mAh batteries in our 2 Evo 3D's since August with no complaints at all. There are some lengthy treads on XDA in the Sensation&Evo 3D forums about Anker&Chichitec batteries. They seem to be the closest to claimed mAh, about 18% more than the OEM battery. I don't think you'll go wrong with either the Anker or Chichitec.
How does the Seido 1900 mah compare?

I bought the Best Buy one, which is made by Seidio. Same mah.
After 3-4 charges, I got 3.25 hours of screen on time yesterday over a 7 hour period.
I'm slightly disappointed in its performance. I just ordered the Anker one, so I will be comparing the two and keep the best one.
I got the anker a few weeks ago. Great battery! Well worth buying

I got one of these 2 days ago, and all i can say is excellent, its on sale right now for $29.99 from $59.99
my battery has not dropped below 50% as yet which is good for me as i burn thru the regular battery in less than 4 hours.
The rear case isnt to hideous neither, says 3d and has a texture, very comfortable, great fit and grip
well worth a shout, i had the seido extended battery and this last longer so far

i can take pictures of my phone sporting the case if anyone wants to see
Not too bad. I like the battery cover a lot more than my seidio extended.
You say its lasting longer than your seidio, is that the 3500 or the 4000 mah?
Sent from my HTC Evo 3D on MetroPCS 1x...
the 4000mah, ive had a couple of seidio`s before and they seem to not be fully truthful with there batteries and MaH, and the cover i quite like over the seidios, plus my phone is flashed to cricket so its always searching for a decent signal and 3g, this battery has been great
That looks exactly like the gorilla gadgets one.
http://gorillagadgets.com/htc-evo-3d-extended-life-battery-3400-mah.html
One says 3400, the other says 3500......hmmm
have to disagree
I own both the accessoryswamp battery and the one from seidio. While the AS might be a decent option if cost is an issue, I have to strongly disagree with the assertion that it lasts longer than the seidio. First of all, the seidio is noticeably larger, which fits with its claim of being 4000mah. I don't have a device that measures mah, so can't verify anything on that front, but from my experience, the AS battery lasts about 1.5x as long as the OEM battery, I have found so far that the seidio lasts about 3x as much. I also found that the back for the AS, while I preferred its style/feel, broke within the first few days of me having it (luckily AS replaced it). So if cost is not a big issue and you just want the most powerful/long-lasting battery available, go with the seidio. If you just want something that will have noticeable kick beyond the OEM but don't wanna shell out the premium, go with AS (or even gorillagadgets since they're a couple bucks cheaper and have been around longer)....just my 2 cents!
All i can say is once my battery was conditioned it out lasts the seidio, but thats my experience.
Seidio have been more than guilty of putting false MAH ratings on the products they sell, just go look it up
anyways, its a good battery, well worth the $30 delivered

Hello Guys
when i was surfing on Ebay i came to know that a polymer battery for our Evo 3D, as in the link below
http://orders.ebay.in/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ImportHubViewItem&itemid=270829458051
so guys is this worth for money and will give a better performance than a standard Li-ion battery?
please Advise me
Thanks in Advance
Currently I am using a 2000mAh Li-ion brought from Ebay, fits without extented back door(installed today on my EVO 3D)
I will update its performance soon
below i have attached the images of that 2000mAh battery(Li-ion)
cost: $25 includes shipping
That is a Seidio battery. The pT brand you see on the packaging is what all the items that they make for Best Buy is branded. There is absolutely no difference in the cases/batteries that say Seidio or pT. I'm not positive, but i think that battery is cheaper from either Best Buy or Seidio. I believe that's how much their 4000mah battery is, or close to it. You can check either websites and find the price though. Personally I'd rather buy from Best But instead of eBay. 30 day, no questions asked, return policy. You're not gonna get that with eBay, and even if you do it won't be as easy as Best Buy would be.... just my thoughts...

Oh, didn't see the pics of the other batteries earlier. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but that Galilio battery is more like a 1200-1400mah battery. I have 4 in my desk at home, 2 have never been used. The best batteries that fit under the stock door are Anker and Chichitec. Both are rated at 1900mah and definitely outlast the stock battery. They are identical in performance and are shipped from California. I have the Anker brand myself. You can get 2 batteries and an external charger for under $30 shipped from eBay. If searching for Anker, search "Sensation Anker battery". Sensation and Evo 3D use the same battery, not sure why Anker doesn't outset them for the 3D also. If you look there are a few threads on these batteries with nothing but good reviews and everyone says they outlast stock. Good luck, and sorry about your Galilio purchase, but there aren't bad to put back for emergency situations

There is no difference in performance between Lithium Ion and Lithium Polymer. The advantages of Li-ion polymer over the lithium-ion design include potentially lower cost of manufacture, adaptability to a wide variety of packaging shapes, reliability, and ruggedness. They can also be dangerous. When punctured, Li-Po batteries react quickly by smoking and causing large fires.

Lol, they are fine for back ups, would rather trash a crappy battery than my charger cable, fits in the pocket better too
But for how cheap they are they are worth it, I got 3 galilio batteries as pictured above for 14.99 free shipping...
Even at a total of 2600-2800mah total that should outlast the stock battery np, I bought them knowing what they were with no issue, cheap batteries for a cheap price, but they work

Very true! Like I said, my Galilio batteries stay in my desk at home most of the time. Although, I do use them for emergency situations. Today is a perfect example. I left home in Georgia, Friday evening, to come down to Jacksonville Florida for the Bulldogs vs Gators game. Left my hotel early this morning to tailgate before the game and just got back to the hotel a few minutes ago. I was using my phone very very heavily for photos, videos, internet, games, calls, texts, basically everything. I carried my Galilio batteries in my pocket today just in case I used up my Anker batteries and stock HTC battery. I didn't have to use them, but it was nice to be able to do what ever I wanted with my phone today with out having to worry about conserving battery life. The Galilio batteries definitely served their purpose today!!!!

Hey Guys,
You may want to know about the performance of the extended battery from mugen 3600mah and from ebay so called 3600mah (white+red+yellow). Here is my observataion and just wanna share with you my feelings:-
I got a GS2 and a EVO3D, purchased one mugen battery and 2 ebay batteries for my GS2; also purchased 2 3600mah battery from ebay. they are from the same China manufacturer and thus the prices are similiar.
Outlook:-
The mugen cover is really awesome, fit and with imprinted figures, however if you use ebay battery, the mugen cover cannot fit in, its tailor made for its battery only!
The ebay cover is also fit to the body, surface smooth. u can use both ebay battery and mugen battery.
Performance:-
Mugen battery can last for 3x hours something with juice defender
Ebay battery can last for nearly 24 hours with juice defender
both are under heavy usage in internet browsing and texting
Price:- Buy 1 mugen can buy at least 8 ebay battery
Charging time:- Mugen battery takes longer to fully charge
i would say the battery from ebay is not fully 3600mah, i think its abt 3000mah, assuming mugen give you the true figures.
For me, I would no doubt to purchase evo 3d battery from ebay, and the finishing of the cover is top fit to evo 3d, make it more durable! and now my evo 3d can last at least 24 hours, for sure sufficient to heavy usage guy. someone said i'm taking a soap out, but for me, it shows much handsome and durable, its worth.
Buy 1 original htc 1730 mah battery can buy 4 3600mah ebay battery, why not?
Up Time is irrelevant really, as we don't know how the phone was used. To give everyone a better idea of the battery's performance, also post Awake Time along with Up Time.
Other important information is what rom/kernal you're using, and if you're overclocking, underclocking, etc...

Mike, you are right, i use stock rom from Taiwan, rooted, no overclock etc, I'm a user, test the 2 batteries under the same circumstances, same numbers of software, same user preference. my view is subjective enough. Trust or not is your call.
A universal way to judging batteries is screen on time..
How much hours was the screen on for each bettery in your tests?
Mugen is a rip. Way too expensive and didn't last as long as China 3500mah with smooth flat cover
So I've been seeing mixed reviews on the aftermarket/3rd party batteries. I've seen that some people have good luck with the mugen 1900 and some with good luck with the 1980.
For those of you that have any of the 3rd party batteries, and had good luck, can you give me a better idea of how much better the aftermarket batteries are? Are you using 100% stock OS?
I really need a new battery, but am not sure if I should go with OEM or 3rd party. It seems that there is no real clarity if the 3rd party batteries last any longer or not. They certainly can be cheaper......
Try one of each... never hurts to have spare batteries. For me, I can not really tell the diff. I have both in extended and both work just as well as the other.
I didn't have good luck with either 3rd party slim battery. I ended up snagging the OEM extended from Verizon when they had them on sale for $29.99. I'm not in love with the bigger size in my pocket but find it fits my hand better when actually using it. The life I'm getting out of it is well worth it.

I have two OEM batteries an one acesoft 1980 and the OEM extended. The acesoft is mediocre at best. The OEM extended barely makes it through a day. I am on it a lot though.

I've been looking for a slim battery that holds more than the OEM as well. I got the Extended OEM from VZW for $25 when I bought the phone. It gets me through a day (I'm on it a lot AND my reception sucks for data at work) but I'm getting tired of the extra bulk. I'm thinking of going back to the days of carrying an extra slim in my pocket. That's what I used to do with my Dinc, but with the Rez w/ extended, you have to changes the back and case with the extended......and that is just getting old. I prefer to keep it in my Otterbox.
I picked up acesoft battery 1980mah seems to perform well. I also picked up OEM extended from Verizon was only 29 but I preffer 1980mah. I wanted to use case I can easily get through the day on 1980mah other battery makes it to bulky and heavier.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
Best "standard" battery deal I have seen for the Rez is on Amazon, Laza Zcell 1750mah HTC Rezound 2x Battery + Charger + Travel Case Combo, you get 2 batteries, a stand-alone charger, and carrying case for $22.99
I have tried a couple of the slim "extended" batteries that are like 19xx mAh, and never really saw any increase in run-time or capacity over stock, in fact I would be tempted to say they were worse than the stock batteries... the Laza ones above are comparable to the stock ones though.
I have the mugen 1900. I've had it since may and its crapped out on me now. It won't charge to 100% now and it discharges way quicker than it used to..not happy after paying 40 dollars for it.

We had a guy at work that bought one of these Mugen 1900 batteries too, same thing, worked good for like 5 or 6 months then just kinda crapped out, won't charge all the way, can't make it through a normal days use anymore, etc. He popped the stock battery back in that had been sitting for the last 6 months, charged and he thinks it works better than when the Mugen was new. (Might be the placebo affect though)
I did not have good results from the Mugen Power 1900 mAh slim battery. Could never get it to work properly. The phone would shut down when power got to 15%. However, I Mugen Power 4000 mAh battery worked great for me, albeit it is bulky. Since I no longer own the Rezound, I am now selling that and some other Rezound accessories on ebay.

Hey, I noticed the battery life not living up to what it used to be when awake, and looked up how to take apart the back to replace the battery, and it seems simple enough. Remove bottom back then screws, so I was wanted to know if I could buy a better battery than the original since I'm replacing it anyway? Any guidance would be great!
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
There aren't any companies that make them for this device. Since the battery isn't removable, they wouldn't be selling any. Well, except to people like you who are going to disassemble the phone. That said, the standard extended battery wouldn't work, because then you wouldn't be able to reassemble the phone. It would have to be the exact same size, like what Anker offers for the Evo 3D. Sorry though, going back to a factory battery is going to be your only option here
I would like to have this option as well! It could very well be that it just isn't possible to pack anymore mah in the same footprint as the factory battery. I know this is the case with the Note 2. If you want more mah with the Note 2, the only option is to buy a battery that is larger than stock and go with a thicker battery door. There are some batteries on ebay that claim to have more mah in a battery that's the same size as factory, but people have found that this isn't true and that the battery actually has less mah than the factory battery does! Now Anker does offer a Note 2 battery that's listed as having the same mah as stock, but many people have said that it will last a couple hours longer! If Anker offered a Evo LTE battery, then I would definitely try it out! I have multiple Anker batteries for my Evo 3D, and have had nothing but good experiences with them!! I'm pretty sure Anker was the brand I had for my OG Evo as well, but don't remember for certain. I've got Anker batteries on order for my Note 2, so I'll find out soon if Anker will impress me yet again. Sorry I couldn't give you any good news...

The reviews for it are very hit and miss if I remember correctly
Screw EVERY backup battery you all have in mind and just get an ANKER 13300maH battery. Of course it loses about 30% on conversion, so it will rate around 9500 or whatever, but it is enough to FULLY charge my EVO 4G LTE about 3-4 times from being dead. The only bad thing I have to report about it is that I didn't find it sooner, but other than that it's been flawless in keeping me happy. I wish the carrying case was a bit bigger so cramming the extra bits into it wouldn't be such a challenge, but other than that I love it. And one thing I didn't mention is you can find them at an extremely reasonable rate on Amazon or ebay. Just be sure to order from the company directly so you don't get a fake one.
