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.
There is a new double capacity 2200mAH battery in Expansys website:
http://www.expansys.com.hk/d.aspx?i=183044
Wonder how is the thickness increased by this new battery? Is there any impact to the GPS radio as seen in some extended battery in original Diamond?
I'm sure that the thickness increased!
Otherwise not be sold with cover. It is like the diamond 1.
This one is much more modest (1350 mAh), but seems to fit within the original back cover:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/DIAMOND2-LONG-LIFE-BA-S360-COMPATIBLE/dp/B002AANPYG
It seems that extended batteries are appearing on the net already, nice, I would like to have something a little bit more beefy than the original one (2200 mAh may be overkill), to be able to use my TD2 on the move while not worrying about saving battery (GPS and wifi while away from plugs for 1 day for example). A battery slightly larger than the orginal, plus the original as a backup, should cover all my uses cases...
The website mentioned the extended battery only price at GBP8.90. Wish buyer may get the goods.

Interrested about your test too: how does it fit, how long for charging it (compared to standard one), and of course the most important thing: does it offer increased battery life

I bought the same one, but the size is much smaller and a bit wider than the original, as I explain in my post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3943769#post3943769
I told the guy, and he told me there must be some mistake, and he' ll send it again. How does yours look like size-wise? Is it working properly?
any news on the 1350 battery?
The issue is solved, as I explain in my relevant post:

The battery I was given was wrong. The guy sent me the correct one now, and everything seems fine.
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:
so without the dot before the colon

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.
Just picked up an Orange branded TG01 (WM6.5) that is in great shape so immediately came here to peruse the forums for a good ROM. Before I get started just want to say that you guys perform a great service and I really appreciate it! I've been periodically checking in here since end of 2008. Had it not been for the excellent ROMs like the Schap's 4.31 (WM 6.0) ROM for my ancient, but bulletproof, HTC Hermes 8525 not sure what smartphone I would have ended up with.
Regarding TG01, I have searched these forums a bit trying to find which is the best way to proceed, but still too much of a TG01 n00b at this point. Here are some questions/comments if some of you wouldn't mind answering for me: (Thanks in advance!)
1. I'm guessing Android development is dead on TG01 since it seems most developers have moved on already. Is that correct?
2. There are no polished versions of Android where all functions work at this point?
2. From my searches so far, it seems like the developers' WM 6.5 focus was/is mostly on stripping out unnecessary crap, like I found that Orange likes to include, to free up memory, resources, and improve battery life. Is that a fair assessment? Even after some preliminary searching the forums here I still haven't a clue which XDA ROM has the greatest functionality, but without the pork. I have to say that I'm really disappointed in the (I guess) stock WM 6.5 in my phone. It seems so dumbed down compared to my old WM 6.0 vsn. I had access to just about every possible feature/setting of the OS, but this 6.5 vsn is so limited for access and customizing. Of course I'm sure much of that was from the cooked XDA ROM. I see now why the general public was so negative about WM 6.5. Anyway, looks like the only alternative at this point is to find the best WM6.5.X ROM for my TG01 since WP 7 seems like vaporware for this model also.
3. Does the TG01 actually have an internal GPS receiver? When I click on that feature it begins looking for a network. Is that because of the Assisted-GPS or because the phone doesn't have the receiver? Orange Maps is installed, but it gives me an error message, probably because I'm in Thailand, and this phone came from the UK.
4. Trying to sort out the tiny 1000 mah battery problem like everyone else has. One option I found in these forums is the very expensive Mugen battery kits. Are there any other alternatives?
Sorry about the n00b questions, but I like this phone and hope to give it a good home (with some upgrades) until prices come down on the newer Galaxy line of phones. Phones in Thailand are expensive, even older models. While a new Galaxy S 2 sells for about the same price as in the US, the Galaxy S still sells for around $440. Even a new Omnia II still sells for $235 here. New ones on eBay are selling for ~$95.
Will stop for now. I welcome any and all comments and advice.
Thanks!

@CrashMurdock,
Welcome to the Forum - and no such thing as too late
I believe my WM6.5 ROM (see link in signature below) is about as close to a definitive 'simple' but fully functional Titanium edition (ie. what the Tg01 could have looked like out of the box! ). There are a number of carefully selected cooked in enhancements and additional apps, but it does not include Mobile Shell, given that is something which can easily be added to taste if required.
You may wish to try it out and see what you think, even if just from interest to see how the device can behave. Overall I would hope you will find it a dramatic improvement on the stock ROM you are currently 'enjoying'. Beyond that, there are a range of other WM6.5.x ROMs available - a good place to look for a roundup is Pere's ROM Table which lists all the editions available and provides links to their sources.
With regard to your question about GPS.... the TG01 has a proper integrated GPS receiver which works extremely well when set up correctly and with suitable GS mapping software. Personally I favour Garmin XT when driving and Google Maps for general reference, but there are others using Tom Tom and other apps quite happily. I have made various registry edits in order to effectively control the GPS and am now very happy with its performance, whether using Google maps or Garmin XT.
You also mention the 'battery problem'. Personally I favour the Mugen 1300 mAH battery which is only a tad thicker than the stock battery and retains the original back cover without problem. Just a littlet trickier to get the cover off but mainly knack. Another Mugen (or could be the stock) then lives in my wallet as a charged spare. No problems then with endurance, particularly if you have the opportunity to top up from a laptop sometimes.
Best regards,
Kevin

If You have any electric skills and nothin against thick tg01, You can utilize middle or large Mugen covers and
"naked" li-pol battery in connection with original 1000mAh battery. This solution is about 3 times cheaper than utilizing original Mugen 2600 or 3900 batteries.
There is the thread on the forum with my solution and pictures.

Hi Kevin,
Thanks for the warm welcome and the great info! I actually already downloaded your KPW110618.007 vsn a couple of days ago, but haven't installed it yet as still in the fact finding phase. I will definitely give it a whirl. Also, thanks for the links to Pere's ROM Table, I looked at it briefly the other day, but am unfamiliar with many of the terms used, so was/am a bit confused since being new to the TG01 game. I'm sure that will pass shortly. Hope you guys don't mind more n00b questions.
That's great news about the GPS. I have an old Googlemaps cab, but am hoping to find an app that doesn't require online service as cell-based Internet here in Isaan, the northeast Thailand farming region, is beyond slow. My TG01 shows Edge service only, although my 8525 shows G service availability. Not sure if a new radio version will improve that or not. Any ideas? BTW, which registry editor are you using?
I just checked your Mugen link. Looking at their 'fat' 2600/3900 mah kits, I'm wondering why Mugen didn't take advantage of the phone's massive real estate to make a double/single layer array of 1300 mah batteries wired in parallel instead of just stacking them up making for a very thick case. From a left hand side profile it would look something like this:
**********************************
* 1300 mah battery * 1300 mah battery *
**********************************
battery-------------> * 1300 mah battery *
compartment ------>******************
or better yet...
**********************************
* 1000 mah battery * 1000 mah battery *
**********************************
* 1000 mah battery * 1000 mah battery *
**********************************
battery-------------->* 1000 mah battery *
compartment ------>******************
(Sorry for the crudeness of the diagram as the infernal extra space remover kept trashing it. The asterisks represent the battery pack arrays)
I would definitely like to get weekly charging cycles like I have with my 'fat' 3000 mah Cameron Sino battery I have in my 8525. I found 1000 mah TG01 batteries on eBay for around $8.10 each including free shipping. Here's the link:
Code:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/170658969408?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
Update: Just discovered these are excellent quality Cameron Sino batteries!
This phone needs and deserves a 'fat' battery setup to feed that 1 GHz CPU and to preserve the micro-USB port. It's a shame that Mugen batteries/kits are so extremely expensive. Sure would like to have one of their 2600 cases for the project, though.
Kevin, thanks again and I look forward to more exchanges.
Cheers!

Hi again Pere,
Thank you for the nice welcome! I had a much better experience once I bought a 'fat' 3000 mah battery kit for my HTC Hermes/8525 a couple of years ago. I'm not great at soldering so plan to get one of the Thai phone shop technicians to do the honors. I've just ordered (2) Cameron Sino 1000 mah batteries so will try a triple battery "optimized" array. Yesterday I sent an email to Mugen asking if I can buy a 'replacement' 2600 mah rear cover. Hope they'll part with one...and for a reasonable price.
Cheers...
Nice!
Please share pictures or video if you have success

Cover model for largest battery for tg01 is :
HLI-TG01XL (Black)
I checked it few minutes ago and it is tragedy
From unknown reasons two things has been changed.
I guess they had many orders for covers only, not batteries and changed
inquiry form.
1 ) First, cost of cover has been changed from 7$ to 14$ !!!
2) You have to insert "battery order" number so in other words You have to proove You bought battery in mugen. It is without sense. What about if I bought tg01 in second hand from big mugen battery and cover has been destroyed ?
I had luck. My total costs was 7$

Ironic as that was going to be my excuse if Mugen asked me why I wanted the back cover only after requesting one online a couple of days ago. I was going to tell them I just bought the phone used (true) and accidently dropped it and the back cover is damaged. If they asked for battery ID stuff I would just say the phone is in the shop being repaired as it stopped working. Instead, I got an email from Mugen today saying they don't have "cases" only back covers. I'm thinking WTF??!! I was very clear in my written request for a 'replacement' rear cover for their 2600 mah battery pack for the TG01. Will see what happens tomorrow.
Thanks for the info!

Just got an email from Mugen with a direct link to order. Either battery (2600 mah or 3900 mah) back cover is now $14.98! How long ago did you order yours for $7? At least international shipping is still free so not a bad total price considering. The problem is as you mentioned that the buyer must provide "Your Battery Order Number". Also, there's this note at the bottom:
"PLEASE NOTE: We will only ship additional battery doors to customers who have purchased batteries form us and only for the battery types purchased."
Looks like I'm out of luck with the pirates at Mugen.
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 )

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

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?

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.
