Hi,
are there stronger batteries for the Hermes device available?
Shipped one is about 1350mAh, maybe a third party offers 1900mAh.
I have seen a 1500 mAh ones, but I think some 3rd party battery manufacturers are a tad "optimistic" when they state their batteries capacity, so i dont know if they last much longer than the original battery.
There are indeed some compatible and HTC original batteries (same as for HTC Apache) with capacities up to 2800mAh, but there are no compatible battery covers for the Tytn yet, since the batteries need extra room, thus battery compartment extension.
3000mAh soon: http://www.lionbattery.com/description.php?noproduit=473
Boy! Can't wait til they come out with that one!
More Power More Power !
WOW They even have a 4800mAh now
http://www.lionbattery.com/description.php?noproduit=324
Could you imagine.. This would be a small heavy weapon sorta.. You could throw this and really hurt someone.. Just the weight of the unit with this power pack.. YIKES..
4800mAh is for Universal.
Mugen Power Netherlands rep say they are working hard on a same-size-as-original power battery with around 2000 mAh. Waiting for that one. Of course the price needs to be right, not 1/10 of the device´s price.

which one is it? and how would you buy it?
A stronger battery would be great.
I got one of the advertised 1500mah batterys off of ebay today for $20. When it gets here i will do a battery comparison and update you on the resaults.
is it physically the same size as original?

i believe the one i bought is the same one as kramer11's but it's about the same size as original. seems slightly thicker but you won't notice the difference.
you probably won't notice the battery life difference either as it is only 150mah difference. i ended up purchasing a 3000mah one and have started using it from today. it makes the device thiker but it's a great stuff that comes with a replacement battery cover. recommended for anyone who wants longer battery life.
I dont understand why the hermes battery is twice the size as the htc wizard and is only 100mah more.
Anyone ?

Can you post some pics regarding how does this battery look on your TyTN? And how is that working out? Would really appreciate some more details .. Also, where did you buy it from?
How about this one?
http://www.boxwave.com/products/hig...ded-battery-htc-wizard-cingular-8125_1160.htm
It's for the 8125/Wizard
Would it work in the 8525 / TYTN?
--sorry some how i missed posting the link, how useful was this post?
Boxwave battery response
I requested that boxwave look into compatibility of the ElectraSpan Extended Battery (which allready works for the 8125/Wizard) for the 8525/TYTN.
The response I received from boxwave was they would look into the request but it depends on requests (demand) received as to how quickly they will develop/offer the new products.
So here is the link to request the extended battery for the 8525:
http://www.boxwave.com/community/request/request_model_103.htm
Fill in your name and email and then a quick note telling them you have the 8525/TYTN and hit submit. If enough of us request this battery they'll probably bump it up on their priority list.

Done. I used one under which I've ordered from them before, so maybe that'll pull a tiny bit more weight than a random e-mail address....

Interesting that they never bothered to tell me, but Boxwave is showing the extended battery on their site now:

Nice capacity (2500 mAh) but it blows away the same leather case they sell that I just got for my Cingular 8525 I'll wait for battery technology to get slimmer, thank you very much. In the meantime, I just acquired a second 1350 mAh battery so I can pop it in if needed.

Hey guys, well I got a replacement 8525 today. The new 8525 (now branded AT&T) came with a 1300mAh made in China by Sanyo battery model HERM 160. My old 8525 has a 1350 mAh made in Taiwan by DynaPack Co battery. model HERM 161
I know that the 1350 mAh is supposed to last longer, but which one has quality cells? So which battery should I keep?
Sanyo has a pretty good reputation for batteries. I wouldn't worry about it much as you'll probably be looking for a jumbo battery soon if you use it much.
i would go for the dynapak, ive had that in my prophet and it was really good, however Sanyo is probably the best cell manufacture (if its not counterfit)
I have both, and get much better life out of the 1350 battery... The Sanyo has less battery life, for me...
Hi, is there a choice for more powerful battery (1500mAh or more, for ex.)?
I've had very good results with batteries from Seidio. The 8525 pack from them is labeled 1500mah "Japanese Cells assembeled in Taiwan". I have two and they are excellent.

3000mAh battery It is the biggest available for the Hermes. Also cheaper than boxwave and others on ebay. Only about $27 including the shipping.
Holy Crap! The next choice will be one of those hats with a battery strapped to each side with a coil cord dropping down to the phone, now that's power on tap!

Yes!
I chose a single battery to charge up and simply keep on me for emergencies as my WM6 rom keeps my default battery topped up for well over 2 days.
I wanted a long life battery but decided to stay with a thin phone as it would mean messing about each time i sat it in the desk top charger or case.
Each to their own though.
The single battery charges remarkably quick and lasted ages so am using it instead of the 1 month old original. The seller is VERY quick and also sells other size hermes batteries too.

Looks like it's the 1500 mah battery. I saw the Seido one, but they were charging like $50 for the whole thing (including shipping to SF, CA). I saw this site, and it looks decent, so I ordered from there for much cheaper...

Hey,
I used a CS 1500mAH in my TYTN, not better than the serial battery. Today I used the mugen 1500mAH, very better.
I think CS is cheaper but they have not the full capacity they sell.

I just got the battery from seidio thats 4000 mah ITS A GO! it drains slow even when im on 1.5 ghz awesome battery guys definitley a worth buy i got better battery life when i kept it on charge for hours so if your not sure to get the battery or not and if u dont mind the little thickness guys this battery is awesome.
EDIT: the power button is a bit hard to press you will have to press it hard(TWSS) ?
Please do a little testing and report the behaviour.
I think (if your results stay good) I will give it a try.

4000mah that's alot of battery juice ...Is it worth the bulk?
You can get the 3500 mah battery for the same bulk as the 4000.when I first got the battery I still haven't removed it or thinking of that for me it's worth it the bulk that is but for some 55$ is a bit over for a battery price
yeah in that case might as well go with the 4000mah... I should probably upgrade myself still using stock battery...usually last me around 70% of the day
Sorry to drudge this up, but how's the battery holding up? Is the Seidio backplate really as bad of a fit as everyone says it is? I am seriously considering getting one cuz I wanna use my phone all day instead of sparingly.
HTC Evo 3D Custom Battery
Thanks for sharing the story, I currently have the default 1.71 battery and I mean like it lasts for the day with low/moderate usage but it isn't enough for me. How much did you pay this battery and where can I purchase it from? :good:

This battery is extremely well. That extra 500 of juice as proven itself useful.
As far as the size, people will get over it. I had a few buddies comment on my phones size and I kindly tell them I wasn't blessed with small hands like them, so to me, it's not big.
Bottom, the price tag for the battery and full package protective case has already paid itself off in my last convoy. Dropped while I was loading up cargo on the deuce and a half and it didn't shatter. When I was in the field, I had the only working cell phone pass the two week mark.
So if you're on your phone a lot and don't always have a power source to charge, this and the 3500 battery are for you. I had the 3500, but again, that extra 500 made a difference with me.

Ir comes with a replacement cover. It's almost identical to this. which is a re-badged Seidio 3500mah with cover. Picked one up for $10 including shipping, well worth it IMHO.

I bought that battery from cowboom in September when this was posted, and it definitely needs the expanded replacement cover as it is about twice as thick as the stock battery. The cover fits well though, unlike the Seidio that has has gaps at bottom of the phone for a lot of people, including me.
There's no way that a 3500mah battery could use the normal cover. Here's the Amazon listing for the same battery where the photos more clearly show the larger cover.

If you're in the US you can get the specially designed branded version made for Best Buy on EBay for under $20. Just search for Platinum instead of Seidio. You can get the cases cheaper that way also if you decide to stay with a factory battery although I've seen a few surface extended cases for less than $10.

MUGEN 2650 mAh, around $45.00 off eBay. But for another $45.00 more, you can have the MUGEN 5400 mAh battery and back cover.

Anker 2700mah I found to be a bit better than stock. Probably because my stock battery was put through so much damn charging for 6 months the fresh anker battery seems better

I got a 3500mah battery off eBay for like 25 bucks from E-cell, a quality Japanese company. Its pretty decent, last all day under moderate to heavy use. I recommend, expecially for cost,
Nothing that fits under the stock cover will last any longer than the stock unit. All of those claims of higher ratings are all smoke and mirrors...
If you want something that last longer get the Mugen 5400mah with cover. I've never looked back and I never have to worry about battery life anymore.

I bought the ones that's made for the hyperion international version, with a little massaging, it fits but the power and volume rocker are hard to operate.

Nothing I have found. But I understand where your coming from. I can no longer use it in the Car Dock, I had to use a universal dock.
But unfortunately I have many aftermarket batteries that are the stock size and they all claim to be something they are not. So you have a few options...
1. Use a large battery and deal with the downsides.
2. Live with the smallish battery life.
3. Get a new phone.
I am planning on getting the Note 2 and even though it comes with a larger battery I will probably still buy a larger battery for it if one becomes available as I have realized that having my phones last for 2-3 days has become such a huge asset that it outweighs the downsides. Its actually quite liberating not having to always worry where I'm going to charge my phone. 16 planes rides, 4 hour bus rides, tons of heavy GPS/Map use. I never worry anymore...
I think Samsung (and others) really needs to start making the phones thicker instead of thinner and putting larger batteries in them. I would gladly buy something like a Galaxy Note that is say 50% thicker with a huge battery, vs having to go aftermarket and getting a 100% thicker phone. This obsession with thin phones is for cosmetic reasons and is something I would normally say happens with the Apple crowd as they tend to buy phones for how it makes them look, not necessarily for what the phone does. No offense to any Apple folks, but you know what i'm talking about. If you have a small phone, ok sure thin might be an advantage. But what the heck is the point of making a 5+ inch phone thin as can be?
Excellent points. Thanks!
I have a nice case, but only allows for a standard battery...

I just had the stupidest argument just a few hours earlier about this very thing. My Note is pretty much a computer I carry on my belt. If I could just get rid of the 450 minutes and get, say, 100 minutes and put the balance towards a higher data plan, I'd be better off. I guess it just depends on how you use your phone. Mine is a life line, but not to call anyone. If otterbox made a case to fit a bigger battery, I'd rock it all; my wife gets all shame-faced with me when I use my phone because she says it's like I'm holding a wall up to my face..

Your first link is for the international version and wont fit an AT&T note. It also is not 3500mah, those are fake claims, its the same as the stock battery.
Your second link will actually give you more battery capacity. Around 5 hours of screen on time.

6 hrs. screen on for me consistently. It effective doubled my battery life, which makes sense, because it is essentially 2 cells sandwiched. See my comment in the thread about the laza for a bit of a review.

With the exception of branding, it looks like the laza. 5600mah is doubtful. Seriously, all the extended batteries look to be to stock battery clones sandwiched, and since all the aftermarket batteries are highly unlikely to match OEM capacity per cell, 5ah is the best we can reasonably expect.

I would agree, I have two sets of those from another manufacture and they are not 5600mah, I get about an hour less screen on time compared to my Mugen 5400mah, and those batteries are slightly thinner than the Mugen, so I would put then at 4600mah or so...
Looking for an extended battery that fits in the OEM battery socket, using the original backdoor.
Does anyone know a good quality battery like that?
UPDATE: Ok, after doing my research I went for Mugen's 3350mAh one.
Reasons:
- I'm an electrical engineer and I hardly believe that you can add extra 1000mAh to the same size battery as MPJ claims and sell it for 19$ - that reminds me of my experience with cheap batteries on eBay (They remove the original label from expired batteries, put a fake and sell for cheap money). There is simply no such technology out there. I bet, Texas Instruments would instantly publish such stuff on Gigaom and it would be Breaking news.
- Mugen seems to be a respected brand among tech reviewers. I found reviews about them on Pocketnow, Engadget and Android Community.
No. Not gonna happen.

MPJ has a 4500 mAh factory size battery for 19.99. Original back can be used. After some research, they seem to be a very good battery company. This particular battery has 5 stars with 40+ reviews. Add NFC for 3 bucks.

Any review online about this battery? I rarely trust reviews from websites where stuff is being sold.
I've found some reviews online about MPJ for other sizes, and all seem to be very positive. I may just pick it up and do a quick review.
Edit: Just ordered one. I'll write up a review when I get it.

5% more! No way to even confirm that, there is that much variation between batteries as is.

Too many times these batteries bigger than Samsung put out as OEM are proven to be les than advertised or even die quicker than stock. I'm not optimistic about it but i'm definetly awaiting your review.

Did some research also n it seems great...but i am considering the 8500mah one now.
Any "extended" battery that fits with a stock battery door will only give you a few minutes more of operation if the advertised capacity is true. I would guess it would offer you less than thirty minutes more. Not worth the money. With all the standard extended batteries I've owned, that needed a custom battery door cover, gave 1.5x more run time at the very most. More times than not, two OEM batteries lasted much longer than the extended. Unless you are willing to talk about zerolemon batteries, then I would say it's a waste of money and time. Most ratings of these extended batteries are exaggerated greatly. You're lucky if you get 1.25x more uptime when compared to OEM. The quality of OEM cells are much better than third party batteries. Zerolemon might give you close to 2x more runtime, but they still aren't as much quality and have as much life, over the long run, as an official OEM battery. To get an "extended" battery that fits a stock battery door is a waste of money. The increase of run time is hardly noticeable to make the purchase worth spending the money on.

What you say is true if only I'd get this battery and only use it, however I get it to swap with original because I don't want to alter the design of the phone. So once my original is showing low charge I swap it with the new one, so I don't think it's a waste of money.
Zerolemon is not my choice in the end - I checked them online and was not impressed. Does not look professional. I went for Mugen, because according to the feedback from respected tech sites their quality is very good.
OP you should keep in mind that these batteries are not quality tested like the original one's are, and they might catch fire and hurt you.
There have been several cases of phones catching fire or blowing up, and most of the times the reason is an unauthorized battery.
e.g. http://www.phonearena.com/news/Samsung-Galaxy-S-III-that-injured-18-year-old-girl-exploded-due-to-third-party-battery_id45509
If something like this does happen, Samsung will not help you or fix the phone for you, even if you are under the warranty period.
So always be cautious while using an unauthorized battery.
Just don't see how you can really cram that much add'l capacity into the same size battery for such a cheap price. Where's the trade off?
I'd like anyone who gets one of these to report back after using it for a few weeks to see how they hold up.

Lol. Its the same as every thread created in each phone's specific forum. There aren't any extended batteries the same size as OEM. It is a Pipedream.

what about the one in question? It offers 150mah extra. I know it's not too much, but if using two batteries (OEM + this one) it all comes up to 6550mah if I'm not mistaken, which is good.
Samsung spend millions of dollars on researching batteries. So these batteries can not keep goal.

So why not just spend the money on a samsung battery. No worries. No issues. No checking to see that 150mah you're not going to get. Just get another stock battery. I already have mine with charger. Was $25 after tax on samsung website but after 50% off coupon.

I don't have 50% coupon and I'm not from US. That battery will cost me more than Mugen.

You don't need to buy the charger, You can buy just the battery and swap it when the first one is dead. It's somewhere around 17-20 $ on eBay. I don't think it should be a problem ordering it where you live, or you can have it shipped to any of your friend or relative and tell them to send it to you.
