Would it be possible to swap M4's battery with another model's battery to get more battery life?
I have looked through other models, the conectors look like the same, but sizes are not the same.

Although NSFAN's ROM has extended my standby time to almost 3 days, I wanted to try and push for more "active" time when using the data a lot.
I know there are two different battery types, one with more cells crammed into the same size battery and another with an extended door. Has anyone tried either of these and what difference does it make?
Id like to know too
Id like to know to what extent these batteries will allow my phone to run. I am running on Vets beta 3 and it sucks life right out of my battery (not complaining because it is an awesome rom) but I have also considered getting an extended battery since I also try running XDAndroid which eats the battery for breakfast...
I have both a Seidio Extra Cell battery (normal size but 1800 mah) and a 3000 mah extended battery with extended door.
Let me start by saying I own about a dozen accessories made by Seidio for the Touch Pro and Touch Pro 2....and they are all great..... BUT I only see a 2-3 hour stand-by difference.
With the 3000 mah extended battery (which you should be able to find for ~$20 or so) adds a little more... about 5-6 hours...... BUT it gets really hot, and the battery % drops like a rock after about 60%.
The combination I suggest is getting the Seidio extra cell battery and use it with a battery saving program/reg. settings. Here is one I install after every new flash. (as far as I know it works with all WM Roms)
Hope this helps.
so... do you think that they are even worth it? I had the extended battery when I had the Apache (ppc6700) but since it was bought used, I thought that the batteries were loosing charge due to the previous use...
I would like to get one but if they do not show significant gains, there is no need for the money waste.
Mainly I've been looking at a couple of options to extend battery life in general.
I've found a couple of aftermarket battery options..
Battery booster, basically charges your battery when you need it to: http://www.amazon.com/T-Mobile-Protective-Cover-Battery-Boost/dp/B0040Z3B98/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1294195978&sr=8-8
An aftermarket battery same size, but slightly better than oem one: http://www.amazon.com/1200mAh-PowerGen-Premium-Quality-Firestone/dp/B003ZUQISU/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1294195978&sr=8-11
And Mugen Power battery 2600mah extended battery: http://www.amazon.com/Mugen-Power-Extended-Battery-2600mAh-HTC/dp/B0049JWHYA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=mobile&qid=1294196068&sr=8-1-catcorr
Opinions?
As for me I would rather find a battery that fits the stock OEM size battery but has better life. Reason, I already have a nice case for my phone (the body glove one), and there aren't any cases I can find for the extended battery back door.
I think the charge when you need it option is kind of cool, since it comes with what appears to be a very nice case.
Also, the OEM battery i linked isn't the best I've found, but, it's a decent brand as far as I'm aware.. as I've heard some others boast bigger claims than they offer.
Anyone know of any true better than oem batteries that fit the stock back casing and phone? If so please share your purchases and/or findings.
And lastly, what is the stock ratings of the HTC HD2 OEM battery on average? Not sure if mine was/is aftermarket, was purchased used.
Hi!
I purchased a battery with a capacity 3500mah. Here is the link to the battery
http://www.ebay.com/itm/181213511614?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
I was wrong with dimensions. Battery proved much wider. Controller battery I used from the original battery. It was very difficult to insert the battery into the reader. Across the width of the battery hinder in the details on the board. I'm remove the plastic on the back cover.
Can see a few photos.

Good mod, I want to do the same too. How is the improvement of the battery life? it is hard to put the back cover back on?

It is necessary to use a different battery. Life expectancy has increased, but now I rarely use the book.
I've been checking my battery life (see pictures) and I don't find normal that is consumption is so high only for having the screen on and using it for normal things (whatsapping, browsing...). What do you think? may be battery defective? I bought it as it was the original (I think it was a fake one) but I don't have the impression it has the same performance I had when I bought my phone.
In case you think it's the battery, could you please refer me to a seller link in which a battery you recommend is being sold?.
Thanks in advance.
PS: pics 1 and 2 | 3 and 4 are related.
I have been reading about people buying "original" samsung batteries and most of them seems to be a fake. Then, its performance is just bad!. Then, I've seen that anker are good batteries. What do you think?
Thanks!
There's nothing abnormal in your Battery usage statistics. The S3 uses an AMOLED screen so it needs more battery than other screens.
Try to reduce the Brightness to the lowest / put it on Auto. And try using a dark Wallpaper.
Thanks, I was already using autobright with -5. I wonder all of this because I've seen stats of having 1d or more and 4-5 hours of screen. I don't know if these people own a higher capacity battery (e.g. 4400mah of Anker) or it's because my battery is a fake samsung one.
Hello,
We see many external battery packs, cases, that makes the phone thick and heavy and sometimes unconfortable
But, isn't there any INTERNAL battery acessories? I mean, changing the stock 3200mAh battery to another with bigger capacity? It doesn't need to be like 7000mAh or something, at least 400+mAh are fine
I'm looking to buy one but i can't find anywhere, anyone knows who sells that?
