Hi guys. So, my battery in my Amaze is not lasting long at all and I am looking for extra battery powers and things. It's between the Mugen 3600mAh vs the 2600mAh powerocks stick. The mugen is a big case for the phone adding aboit .9mm but has a bigger battery than then power rocks which is like a seperate portable charger. Which should I get? Would the mugen be too big when its on the phone? Would the power rock be impractable as I always have to carry that around with me? Please help and tell me when to do. Also, the power rocks is around $30 while the mugen is around $90.
Or should I just get a replaceable 2000mAh battery?

I personally never leave home without at least 1 spare 1730 mAh battery. You can find them online (ebay) with a charger for around 9 bucks.

That's what I did. I have 2 extra Anker Batteries and an external charger that came with it. They are reported as being 1900mAH. I only carry 1extra one and have the 3rd battery on standby at home unless I go to Disneyland and expect to take tons of pictures then I'll bring it. Other than that 1spare to bring is sufficient enough for me.
The mugen is that much? Dang, they were so affordable for the g2

Anker batteries is the way to go. 2x Batteries at Amazon for $30, and Charger dock that has multi purpose as well.

can the mugen batteries be trusted......they come in 1800,3600mah variants......is anybody using them?????
plzz help as i'm considering buying them.
I would say stick with SE ones, I have two 3rd party ones and they run out seemingly faster than my original one and also iv found that left not in the phone or charging just laying around idle they don't hold 100% cbarge where as my original does.
I have 3 batteries in total and the one that came with the phone is best for me and all 3 are suposedly 1500 Mah

The mugen 1800 last the same as the 1500 stock one. there is a test somewhere. If I can find the link I will post it.
Found it. Batteryboss.Org
I wanted a spare battery too but after reading the reviews I ended up buying a portable usb battery pack, and I am pleased.

Ive had the mugen 1800 in my X10 for some time now and it works great. With regular use the longest charge ive gotten out of it was just over two days. Never got that time out of the stock battery. Cant go wrong for the price really. And worse case scenario, youve got an extra battery.

Hi,
I haven't used them but I've been tempted. I've heard the 1800mah ones aren't that great from reviews and that the extended one only gives you a little more battery life (And that it's a bigger battery). That's the problem with extended batteries... Your best bet is getting another sony one off Amazon for 30 bucks, as far as I can tell. ebay is a ripoff, they're all fake even though they say they're genuine goods...
I was looking through ebay for a new battery for my thunderbolt and there were some extended batteries that were 3500mah for around $12. I was just wondering if these batteries are any good or safe to use because it just seems too good to be true.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
I was wondering that too. I saw some on ebay where they had TWO 3500 mAh batteries for like $20 or something.
It's unlikely that they're close to the claimed capacity, but they're cheap enough to try.
Sent using Tapatalk
I can answer this! I got the same 3500mAH battery off Ebay.. Is it safe? Yes, my Thunderbolt worked fine with it, but as far as it being good - well, you get what you pay for. I have the HTC 2750mAH battery and it lasts much better than the aftermarket one you're talking about. If you're looking for a decent extended battery that's still pretty inexpensive, there is one made by Yobado that's 2800mAH. I haven't tried it for my Thunderbolt, but I had a Droid X with a Yobado extended battery, and it actually worked pretty well.
I haven't tried one but do your research, some aftermarket on eBay work, i bought an extended galilo slim no added bulk battery for my evo 2000 mah and it def lasted longer than stock, i doubt it was really 2000 but an improvement and 2 for 15 dollars with a battery charger

just ordered a thunderbolt and will be looking for extra stock batteries (don't want the added thickness) and a dock which will charge them. I'm guessing 1 extra battery will probably get me through the day at work.
Anyone seen them?
edit:
something like this:
http://www.amazon.com/1500mAh-Quality-Battery-Wireless-ThunderBolt/dp/B004T19WAA
charges phone and extra battery at the same time.
Just purchsed this... With the thunderbolt battery fitting in the rezound, this external battery charger should work in theory.

Dudes.... Just get the extended battery. I did the whole battery swap thing on the thunderbolt(had 5 extra batteries).... But finally said "no more!" and got the Mugen 4500mAh battery.
Ofcourse, 2750 isn't quite as much as 4500, but should still be enough so you don't have to keep spares around for swapping.
I have the Seidieo HTC Multifuction chargers w/ thunderbolt trays
Will the thunderbolt battery fit in rezound? Will the rezound battery fit the thunderbolt charger tray? Seideo says they haven't decided to support rezound yet .
I figured on going with the Otterbox Defender for Rezound since that
is rather like the Seideo Convert cases line and come with the belt holster.
Actually, I was contacted by Seidio. They have started production on Rezound accessories. Should see them in the coming weeks.

Went for the Hyperion. Will report back.
Yeah it seems worth the risk of $10-15...the only thing holding me back is that I already have a diztronic extended tpu case and this new style wouldn't fit it. I might be willing to chop up one of my standard tpu cases though...I'll have to think about it..

I don't trust Hyperion. I bought a couple regular-sized batteries and one of them shorted out and overheated quite a bit. I have no problem with my Laza Zcell, which is also an intermediate between the HTC Extended and the Mugen
Truth be told I bought two of the standard size Hyperion batteries a long time ago that came with an external charger too. They were defective but Hyperion gave me a full refund and let me keep it all (I still use the charger). They told me they had been having some issues and something to the effect of "please give us some time to work out the kinks and we'll figure it out." They were very nice and helpful and I was impressed by there customer service so I'd be willing to give them another shot. (LISTEN UP HTC and Verizon! Good customer service helps in the long run! )
Edit: and no, I don't work for them or anyone for that matter!

Frankly, I'm surprised that Verizon's batteries aren't locked down so you can only recharge them on their cables and chargers. That's sort of the attitude they take with everything else they sell, isn't it?

bought a couple of hyperion standard batteries for the thunderbolt and they always died between 10-15%. Not sure I trust them. Also, that back door is fugly. I wonder if my stock extended battery cover would fit?
I tried the hyperion battery and i couldn't get any signal with the battery.
I liked the feel of the cover but the best signal I could get was 1x. even with the OEM extended battery and the hyperion cover.
The OEM cover and the hyperion battery seemed to also block my signal. Couldn't get any signal with any of the hyperion parts. I'm glad I didn't spend too much on it
Well that's disappointing...as I stated before, they were at least really nice about it when i tried their standard ones. I'm sure if you're tactful/polite they'll give you a full refund. Who knows, maybe that unnamed cheaper non Hyperion one works? I'm just a big fan of buying random cheap sh*t off eBay to see what I get. I've got some really fun stuff around the $2 range like a 3.5mm dust plug with a mini android in it, a gold stylus shaped like a feather, etc...but I digress.

Same happened to me with the back cover not getting a signal. This in turn caused the battery to die faster.

Lmfao, I do the same thing. I will give the unbranded one a shot when payday comes.
Yup. The Hyperion back seriously sucks. The OEM extended battery back fits well enough if the Rezound is in a case, though.
Finished my first deep discharge and will give it 5 cycles with the OEM back before passing judgment.
Dumped down the innertubes from my Rezound via xda premium.
I had one of these batteries for my og EVO, sadly when I peeled it apart out of curiosity it was just two 1100mah batteries in parallel. So I doubt it will be better than the HTC extended batt.

Well, if that's the case, it would still be 400 mAh better than the stock extended (ie 1600*2). And considering that I have almost no service at work I regularly kill my 2750 in 8-10 hours. Plus it would be nice to be able to listen to streaming music for more than 8 hours on LTE.

I am going to the trouble of actually running this thing down to near 10% before recharging (I don't want to go further because some ROMs have an anomaly where they misreport battery level). I've just finished my third discharge cycle and I'm getting 24 hours with active use of the handset, including media playback through BT, phone calls, texting, web access, etc. That's good enough for me, although I will follow-through with 2 more full discharges as instructed and see what my mileage is.
BTW, the battery works fine with the "original" Verizon Extended Battery back, so I probably will never use that crappy Hyperion back again.

To be honest, I've never tried a full run-down of my OEM Extended (the 2750 mAmp from Verizon). I guess I ought to do that to get a truer measure.
Got my 3500 mAh battery a couple days ago. So far impressed, and is what I've needed. I couldn't go a 1/2 day with the 1750 mAh battery. Now I'm going 1.5 - 2 days before charges.
I am using the battery monitor app, but I'm not too keen on it's features. If there is something that you guys would like for me to look at, let me know. If I'm reading it right, I'm getting 13 hrs on this batter between charges.
BTW got the battery off of eBay ~8 w/ free shipping: http://www.ebay.com/itm/251060188877?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
Don't know what is up with the pricing, but it is now stating $57 and change.
Yea it is the black and white one.
I'd recommend this one for considerably less. About 10ish from Amazon, 13 on eBay:
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/view...md=VIDESC&index=15&nav=SEARCH&nid=39658739379
Has an odd looking case but the non standard design allows it to continue to be used in docks and car docks.

Seidio Innocell 1900mAh
I am going to get the Seidio Innocell 1900mAh this week
I vouche for that laza battery. It is awesome works great
Honestly I couldn't go with a 1900. The extra 170mAh in my book is like throwing money away. In my case it would only give me another 1/2 of usage, and I would still be tied to a power outlet. Now I can go 3 days on one charge. When I get the time I'm going to cut out my Otter backing to allow me to use my Defender and cradle.
If the 4000mAh Seido battery weren't $50; compared to just $8 for a 3500 with backing, I would have gotten one. The longer I can go without charges the more I would inclined to go with a larger battery.
How long do the Laza batteries go for?
I'm using the Battery Monitor widget, but if someone could tell me where to look to see the estimation on battery life, I would post it up.

Well guys, I may have spoken too soon. Seems that the 3500 that I bought just went dead...for good. Won't take a charge. Charging light just blinks red, and phone will not power on. Works fine with my old 1700mAh batter. And this is less than 14 days of use.

if its blinking i believe that means its super discharged and requires to be hooked up to the charger until it stops blinking. try leaving it on the charger for a few hours, see if it comes back.

Gonna need more info to this, as I have never heard of a battery being super discharged. Already contacted the seller. $2 for s/h and I get another batt, and don't have to send back the old one.
I'd recommend this one, Yoobao 3500mah Extended Battery, the quality of Mugen and Sedio at half the price. Dont be fooled by the CHEAP batteries that you need 2 of that may ruin your EVO 3d there is a reason why they are $9 and no warranty. http://dx-box.com/yoobao-sprint-htc-evo-3d-3500mah-extended-battery-plus-back-battery-cover-door.html

my bros EVO 4G stopped working (stock battery) and all it did was blink red while plugged in. we left it plugged in for a while and it wasnt coming back on....
so after looking it up we figured out that sometimes the battery dies and go way below startup charge levels. to indicated this HTC phones will blink red. so we crossed our fingers and left it plugged in for 4 hours. maybe a little less.. and it came back like nothing had happened. hasn't been a problem since..
my bro admitted he ran it down, but i suspect the phone thought he had 50 percent still when in fact it had less than 0%
make sure your using a USB AC Adapter, a computer will likely take twice as long if at all
Here is what I believe happened with your battery. Its voltage dropped below a preset value. As you left it in the phone and on the charge, as the charger blinked red, the battery stabilized. Think of it this way, you leave your lights on your car and you get a dead battery. If you let it sit for a bit, you may regain enough amps to start the car. Essentially same principle here.
ETA: I swapped back to my 3500mAh battery, after it sat out in the open for a couple days. It now takes a charge. Will report back on its capacity. I expect it to take 6 hours to fully recharge.

Here's what you do. Get an extended battery. Buy an Otter Box Defender. Take the back plate of the Defender and cut out the battery section. Wrap it with the silicone case. Now you can still use the Defender's cradel. The Otter Box Defender has a built in kickstand, not many people know of. All you do is use the belt clip and open it as wide as it will go. At that point the clip will lock open, and there you'll have a kick stand.
Just don't know if it will work with your car phone stand, but now you have a case, a kick stand, and extended battery.
Sounds promising. I'll be sure to check it out.
I didn't know about the belt clip either.
