Hello guys. As many of you already know the stock battery which comes with the rezound dies pretty quickly through a decent amount of use in a day. I have been looking for some extended batteries and have come across brands such as Laza zCell, otterbox and Hyperion. What do you guys suggest? Should I just stick with the extended battery provided by HTC?
Thank you in advance.
Mike.

Can't go wrong with the HTC extended battery, there's an extensive thread about it in the Accessories section, best place to ask questions like this.

When it comes to the ReZound STICK WITH THE OEM HTC EXTENDED BATTERY no matter how many more hours they say it will last. Cause it might for the first week then the cells are going to weaken but my extended form my rezound is great and i've had it for almost a month now. I get about 20 hours with 4g on all day no wifi nor 3g and bluetooth is on
Honestly, my HTC battery works best by far. And once you get a replacement back for the phone thunderbolt extended batteries are the same part number and cheap as dirt. Like 3 or 4 bucks a battery.

This is a good deal for the official htc rezound extended battery door:

Then snag several of these:

I got 4 batteries and they only charged me once for shipping. Thunderbolt extended batts are the same as the rezound except for the color.
You can also check out verizon in store (corp stores). Extended batteries with the door were only 19.99 for a long time (unadvertised sale, make them scan it).

They were 19.99 in dec and jan. But 29.99 isn't a bad deal since you need the door anyway. The door alone is 25 on htcpedia.
Ya its a good price. You will probably get longer life out of a mugen extended or one of those "10000mah" pieces of crap jokes on amazon but the htc will outlast them in the long run. Just get the HTC battery

If it is available, ALWAYS get the HTC battery. Usually it is cheaper, is what it is advertised as(mAh), and a higher qualty product compared to over 95% of the junk out there. Mugen and Seidio are the higher quality aftermarket manufacturers, usually more expensive for the same result.

Appreciate the input but please only vote if you've used both.
I doubt many people will have both brands, since they are basically the same. Maybe there will be some one with both who chimes in though. From everything I have read, they are both legit 1900mah batteries so they should both perform identical.....
That said, i bought the Anker batteries since they were a couple dollars cheaper. I couldn't be happier and get minimum 2-4 extra hours over stock per charge

I have the chichitecs...lost one, and ordered two ankers. Should be waiting for me at home when i get back from vacation (jersey shore in the house).. will post up a review once I've had a couple charges on em..
Haven't tried the Anker's but I was pleasantly surprised by the Chichitecs. They last noticeably longer than stock and it was only $30 for two of them plus the wall charger on Amazon

Hey! Mugen Power has a OEM sized extended battery for AT&T SGS2
1800mAh man
Also they have a super-big one: 3200mAh
The actual answer is no.

alice0223 said:
Yes. There is a very reliable one where I bought several times from them.
mugen-power-batteries.com
Normally for one model they have the standard size with extend capacity and another super size with 2-3 times capacity of the standard one. I have tried HTC Sensation's extended battery, works great on my HTC.
Hope you can find what you need. Besides, they ship to all over the world for free!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The HTC Sensation is a special case because it shares batteries with the Evo 3D, but other phones either you're buying something with the same capacity as the stock battery, or less.
If OEMs could make a battery with more capacity in the same space, we have to ask ourselves, why wouldn't they do it?
Exactly... The amount of money they spend on the battery technology alone is crazy. In the old days before smart phones motorola lived and bashed on good battery life... It was the selling point for phones... Until smart phones. But in my opinion it's even more important
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA App
Its difficult to quantify battery life as its so subjective to actual use/ user habits.
That said, battery technology is pretty good and consistent. You can only get so much "juice" in a battery given its size.
samsung made a 2000 mAh for the euro galaxy s 2, it ads just a little bit of thickness
I would agree with the claims that battery life is nearly impossible to extend but I personally really noticed how much battery life went up with my Inspire when I tried going back to the OEM battery with my normal daily use I'd do with the extended battery. It was incredible what a difference a few hundred mAh make
Sent from my Samsung GT-I9100
It'd be hella nice to get a 2000 mAh battery with NFC support for less than $40.

What ROM and kernel are you using? I've gotten better life with some of the ROM's I've flashed, but nowhere near what you are reporting, even with an extended battery.
This is the only battery I would use.
ALL of the aftermarket batteries are at 3.7v - and use lithium polymer - while the 3d requires a battery at 3.8. Another thing is the 6.57Whr rating which I HIGHLY doubt these aftermarket)read: cheap) batteries can provide...especially since the spec isnt listed on the retail sites Ive visited.
Always go official.

Two OEM batteries are better than one huge, cheap extended battery. The devices aren't intended to run on a huge battery and recharging a large capacity battery in the phone is not ideal, technically.
But the aftermarket batteries will always use lower quality materials and worse craftsmanship than OEM.

It's probably closer to 3800 to 4000mah. The Chinese variants always lie to sell some batts unless it's Seido or Mugen who are trusted.
I am getting to the point where i am going to buy one. I am going to wait until my 30 days is up then buy an extended battery. Probably a cheap one like that first. I can't justify $100 for a Mugen one when it comes out, so this may work.

However with Mugen you get a 1 year warranty and guaranteed quality battery rated at 5000+ mah vs these knock offs that may wear off quicker and most likely no warranty.
You get what you pay for
I 100% agree going with Mugen is the smarter move. If I can take the chance and spend $15 on a knockoff and get lucky that it works well it is worth it seeing how the real deal is like 8 times more expensive.
Anyways most people don't keep there phones for more than 2 years anymore so longevity isn't always the biggest selling point.

It fugly as all get out too! At least the Mophie packs for Iphone5 are sleek and good looking. They do add alot of bulk but they're not ugly. I will say this though, these are putting out 4700 mAh while the mophies for iphone are only like 1200mAh or so and those sell for $100. So by that notion these aren't a bad deal.
I don't think it looks that bad, if it were in the $40-50 range I'd totally grab one.

It has to be one hour of screen life lol. I've finally gotten my phone to only use 1-2% of it's battery while its on stand by. However it doesnt matter how long I've had the phone on or anything if I go to 2 hours of screen on time my phone is sitting around 50% +/- a few depending on some other factors. So that's the only conceivable way for me to see him doing it.
Missed the comment above about Mophie and you're 100% right. This is a great deal compared to their offerings for the ONE or the S3. 100$ here gets you a lot more juice.
Thanks you very much news, I think HTC phone's battery accessories is still very good, lifespan can reach 10 hours of the time it brought me a lot of convenience and benefits, I do not have to worry about no electricity and phone things affect me

A one year warranty sounds pretty darn good. I can't bring myself to spend $90 though, and no way $100 for the brick unless I was traveling. Tempted by the extra 3000 and doesn't look THAT bad. Hell this thing barely fits in my pocket as is, what's an extra few mm going to really matter? Price point on mugen products are notoriously high and stay there. I don't see this being any cheaper. I may just pull the trigger on this but have to sleep on it a few days first. Not an impulse shopper by any means.
I'll pick one up in the next week or two, it's ideal for my purposes, especially since I bought a GoPro Hero 3 Black which I control from my phone using Wi-Fi. The extra power will be very useful.
