Anyone try out this battery? I'm not sure if it's really good compared to the more popular Sedio Innocell batteries. This one is a really cheap price compared to the Seido's right now since it's 55% off...and it's a little more power. Is this too good to be true or should I get it?
I won't recommend it, a friend of my bought it, at the very moment he started using it, issues began to show on screen, got lots of bugs, even wiping battery

I have a battery with greater capacity and normal size http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GOLD-2430MAH-BH6X-BUSINESS-BATTERY-MOTOROLA-ATRIX-/260811241238?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3cb98fb716

People: stop listening (and reproducing) the archaic fears of China-made hardware.
Every manufacturer makes it in China and then add their profit and voila-.40 dollar batteries with original cost of under 5!
I have bought at least a dozen batteries for cell phones from ebay, always choosing the cheapest. I never had a problem.
Try before you moan!

Well spoken!
That is a fake.
have tried, bull**** quality The large mAh is just a myth
Check out this item I found on eBay: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=180784021815
I'm wondering quality of this and ecell gold brother.
Bought it. I am quite sure that these ampere numbers are way to optimistic.
My experience with several non original batteries throughout different android phones is that talking, about same size batteries, ther is nothing like the original one.

What are the chances that the 1500mAh battery that comes with the MAX 4G would fit into our Touch HDs? The MAX is slightly thicker than the HD which may explain the bigger battery though..
Yeah that would be nice... I wonder if the battery connects are in the same place. If so the battery may work but probably bend or bulge our battery cover.
Another problem is where do you buy the max 4g battery from?

No chances, different dimensions. I see them.
That sucks. I was wondering the same thing.
heyhey,
I am from Hong Kong, and I got my HD yesterday.
I also bought a replacement battery incase my HD runs out of battery~
I think it is a Japanese brand, and the battery comes with 1500mAh!!
google it and u might find it!
~cheers
Got myself a 1500mah battry from ebay.
It fits and works.
was hoping for an even bigger battry, cause the difference between 1320 and 1500 isn't that much.

May I know the brand and how much is it?
Thanks!
i bet its momax. its HK brand. im using it. also 1500mah. not longer than original one.
but its ok to be a replacement....so far so good
Gotta be careful with batteries of unknown sources.
Surely there are many good and cheap stuffs made in China, but more often you find cheap and bad items.
From my experiences, these low price batteries are short-lived, with wrong mAh parameters, and worst of all, may cause damage to your precious phone. I'd better buy an original one (or wait for it to appear...)
I'm also using a second 1500 mAh battery from eBay without issue. Does last longer than the original 1300 unit as I can compare because I swap between the two on extended trips away from the office.
Hi,
Last week i bought an extra battery for my hd, i decided to order a genuine HTC battery instead of an aftermarket battery hoping i would get quality for my money. I ordered from an pretty reliable webshop.
The battery came in an HTC packing witch looked genuine to me.
But when checked the battery a bit closer and compared it to my original battery that came with the phone it looked a bit different.
After fidling a while with it, I noticed it was kinda raggity-ass and one part of the battery was loose.
Anyway i upped some pictures where you can see what im talking about.
http://img17.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=cimg2066o.jpg
I was hoping someone could tell me if i have been propper fed or if HTC is making cheap ass battery's now to save a few bucks.
PS: is there anyway of checking the serial no. online to see if it is genuine HTC.
PS2: the best noticeable difference is where the original battery says:
Serial no.:
and the lame one:
Serial no:

We just run HTC’s webshop for Europe so I suggest that you take this up with HTC directly
Sincere apologies

Well at least they know what there selling
Hi, do you have any news about this subject?
Nope
Nah... i gave up. Its still working propperly. I must say though, I looked ad a few batterys from other peoples touch hd's and saw a few differences in them too. So i think it's a genuine battery but that there are a few companys who make them for HTC and some are better than others.

I usually prefer to buy batteries, not from the original manufacturer, but from other places (i dont mean cheapo chinese ebay type). They are usually a higher rated battery so last a bit longer and are generally cheaper, and I like to think that they are trying harder to make a better battery to sell, but i'm sure it's not the case, and that the materials will be cheaper and therefore less stable. In my experience they haven't let me down yet. As long as they are CE approved, it's all good.
Your story about perhaps getting a fake after paying extra for an "original" is scary though. If it was a fake that is. I'd expect an original to be well made, but in your case you say it felt poor quality. I hope they're not all like that.
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.
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...373-1800mah-extended-replacement-battery.html
They have links for 4 diff models too!
I'm keeping an eye out for the availability of some power jacket extended battery packs.
Below are a couple of examples of solutions that are available for the standard Xperia Z.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bearcXdXdAc
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=6rE0Z0yczws
The first one is a generic Chinease one that is about availiable on ebay for about $25
The second one is the official mugen one that has recently come out.
Personally I think I prefer the cheep Chinese one. Anyway its all academic at the moment because there are no solutions out yet for the Ultra. Its pretty new out mind so I suspect that when the LTE models launch globally we will see such solutions. :good:
Would you consider using such a solution for your Ultra?
These stuffs does give the phone some extra weight, some may like it for easier handling due to it having more weight but kinds of defeats the purpose of the ZU design.
I'm currently using a 15000mAh powerbank with 2.1A and 1A output options.

You're talking to a man who has a 9000mAH Zerolemon battery on his Note 2
Each to his own of course but my personal preference is to have a powerjacket attached to the device rather than carry around a separate power bank.

Haha no worries, I owned one of the powerjackets for my Note 2 or was it S3, I'm fine with it but just speaking out generally since many users are going for thinner and thinner designs
I generally don't mind added thickness and weight, phones these days are going so thin and light, it makes me feel insecure holding them lol.

I was kind of excited when you posted this thread but when I saw the battery capacity and I went "mehhhh"
Cos anything equal to or less than the phone's own capacity.. is a little on the low side. Most of the time we will use the phone and use the power jack at the same time, which means even if it's equal to the phone's 3000mAh it would probably be able to charge it from 1% to say 50% only. Still useful in emergency times (beggars can't be choosers) but like you said, maybe 4000-5000mAh may be a better option considering these cheap China makes usually overstate their capacity and the battery degrades rather fast too.

Well they certainly have more surface area to play with on the Ultra, so lets hope the capacities supplied will be bigger. That's kind of too logical to be a reality though lol

Unfortunately, the fakes often look exactly like the real ones. I guess it's not difficult to copy the label. The only way you know for sure, is to buy it from a reputable manufacturer like LG.
.... and yes, that is a fake. The giveaway is the missing white dot next to the contacts on the top of the battery. It's a white dot that turns red if it gets wet. The really good fakes have the white dots though. They are cheap enough from the LG website to just not risk it.
Kuba, did you bought it in Warsaw from "BRICK" shop? I got exact same concerns about this battery not being genuine.
So far, I have found three ways to check if the battery is legit:
1: The white dot on the top side as mentioned previously. Many of the batteries on ebay and other other sites does not have this. If your battery has the white dot then it's a good sign.
2: Legit batteries should have tiny little holes on one of the gold-plated contacts. I think there should be somewhere around 3-4 of them on a legit battery.
3: The temperature reading on a legit battery should increase when the phone is heavily used (like playing a game) or when charging. If the temperature stays the same then this is most likely a fake battery (on my fake battery, the temperature stayed at 24 degrees even when the back of the phone felt really hot). Ampere is a good app for checking the temperature.
This is a small summary on the things I found was different from my original battery. The labels on the fake batteries are also often spot on so they can be quite hard to differentiate.

Also expect to replace them every 4-6 months. I've gone trough one of them that actually got swollen after 5 months. It swole so much that it was pushing the screen out of the frame so the backlight came trough. The bad thing is (i hope an error) that the ones from lg now are 40$. So there's that. The one that swole was 12$ from my local phone repair shop. Thank god that they are removable.

Whoa! That's scary! That is in no way normal at all and it sounds like you got a faulty battery. After going through a dozen batteries for my 2 G3s over 3 years, I never had that happen.

I just noticed that too! They were only $15 dollars for so long! What a bummer indeed. :crying: They probably increased the price due to a shrinking stock, lack of manufacturing, or too many people mass purchasing them and selling them for $30 elsewhere.
I bought a replacement battery from LG directly, turned out to be **** as well, ended up going back to the original battery. the OG battery may have lost some capacity, but at least it doesn;t make my phone reboot like crazy and suddenly lose 20% of its charge.
To the extent it;s even worth buying a new battery for a phone this old, I'd suggest NOT paying the highway robbery of $40 LG is currently charging.
i am up for a replacement too. From lg, with shipping its costing me me 38£ !! 4lg.co.uk/product.pl?pid=5148198
Any experiences with GadFull batteries? I am just scared that a non lg battery will blow up given our devices tend to get pretty hot.
I can personally recommend this:
Power Bear LG G3 replacement battery
I've been using the Tothl brand and its been legit, they claim 5000mah but its closer to the original. Can't beat the price 13$.
