OK, I know these things are new... but if anyone get a lead on when/where anyone starts producing a larger battery for the MDA III's please post here!!!!
the 1400mah standard just isnt gonna do it for me...
Looking at how the factory battery fits, seems to me no problem to make a slightly bulkier battery with, say, 2500 mah capacity? woudn't hurt use or cosmetics of phone... the battery already sits lower than the camera area on the back.....
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!1

I don't know if the batteries are exactly the same.... I hear rumors that the PDA2k, Sprint PCS 6601.. O2 III.. whatever are all the same. If so, look at this site:

(There's a UK site as well).

As I know there will be an extened battery from Mugen Power. They will release it very soon..
when can I find them? or is there anyone else that normal brings something like this out?

They have batteries in many format for the blue angel. They are developing a 3000mah one . I'm not sure how they will look, but there is a picture of their current one if you click the 2600mah for the o2 xda II. I think the new 3000mrh will look like that
Mugen Power Extended Battery for MDA IIs. This battery will be released soon.
Capacity : 3300mAh
I just got one of these MDA IIIs. I asked for accessories but they had none!
I want an extended battery too so I went and got a lead acid 12v from a scrap yard and fitted it on a pair of roller skates (a skateboard would do). I then purchased a 600 watt inverter from Maplin Electronics and coupled this to a transformer from one of my old Sinclair Spectrums computer and before anyone jumps down my throat - yes I added a voltage regulator so not to blow up my new MDA III.

They have 33 in stock of the 3300 Mah batteries, they're currently out of the 2200 Mah ones. $124(us) and $79(us).
Does anyone know if there's any reason these batteries wouldn't be suitable for an Orange SPV M2000??
In MY opinion the cost of batteries is a total rip off and we the consumers are held to ransom.

Hey guys,
Last week I buy an 1500 mAH Battery (CS) for my Herald.
Included today I worked 5 days with my Herald (WLAN , Phone, SMS, Calender..) and I have 28% Energy
Good Performance....
Whats your experience with the 1130mAH Battery? Do you have other Battery tested (bigger than 1500?)
Thanks Oliver
Where did you get the battery from?

No, you won't lose data
And this is not due to the pda, this was a 'feature' from WM2003
WM5 and WM6 both have the data/settings stored on a rom chip which doesn't lose its data when you soft-reset.
Are these batteries reliable? Don't want to have them exploded in my pocket! Has anyone already ordered?
Do these larger batteries fit with the original battery cover?
HERE is a 2400 maH Battery.
But It's a larger Backcover...
Thanks for the tip ... ordered one of these to compensate for running BatteryStatus.
5 days !! thats crazy talk !!
i get 2 at most on mine.
is this battery the same as the one you have?
http://www.gizmos2go.com/xcart/product.php?productid=8625
That's the one I ordered, but I haven't received it yet. They don't tell you when they're out of stock on their site.
cool rob, let me know how it is when it arrives.
why is that guy getting 5 days of charge?
Bought one too
After reading the first very positive post about the 1500mAh battery, I've got one myself too. Unfortunately I am quite disappointed. The life seem to be the same or even worse than the original battery to me
Just GSM eats about 3-4%/8h but when I turn the device on I can see the percents going down anxiously fast even with the backlight on the first level
Got the 1500mAh battery this past Friday. So far, looks like I'm getting at least two days, maybe a little more between charges. Pretty much what I'd expect given the modest increase in amperage. Overall, I'm pleased given that it only cost about $30.
Hi there, I'm using the 1500 battery since monday and can't say that I see any difference to the standard 1150- no breakthrough and I don't see how to get over two days with normal use
what about the 2400 maH battery. Are there any benefits of getting that or not? (other than making your phone feel and appear heavier)
Where did you find a 2400 maH battery? And will any accessory for the P4350 work for my T-Mobile branded "Wing"?
Can anyone comfirm that the 2400 battery will come with the cover for the T-mobile Wing?
Please let me know... I will like to have one

There is a guy on ebay selling a 3000 mah battery for the wing with the blue cover. It looks large to me but if you need the extra power it may help. On ebay search for "wing battery". I think his seller id was nakedcellphone or something similar.

looking to buy a larger capacity battery for 8525.
been looking at this one:
http://sfplanet.com/product/PDAB011?meta=FRG
any other suggestions?
is it a good idea? are there batteries with even LARGER capacities... i want to avoid some of the drainage issues that plague the 8525.
thanks...
I have that same battery. I can't tell that it lasts a whole lot longer. It seems to be a little thicker than the OEM battery and the cover doesn't fit completely flat. It's nice to have the spare battery anyway.
any suggestions on some cradles?
I can't help you on the cradles. I don't have one of those. I'm still using the basic sync cables.
Hi Cap battery
I bought this one. It lasts greater than twice as long as stock. It is THICKer so it increases the profile of your phone, if that's an issue.

I am running on a 2800mAh battery which is really made of high quality! Even the battery door fits exactly and does not move at all! I bought before extended batteries from the same seller for my MDA which were also excellent! Here a link (the auction will be over in 26 minutes but he has more! )

Not sure to what you're referring to but you even can buy the original OEM standard battery for less than $5.00 on eBay!
I got my 2800mAh battery for 9.99 - I was the only one bidder and it it works great! Even battery status works properly in the device!
You sure can throw money away by walking in to a Cingular store and pay $40.00 + tax or you go the smarter way and order online! Your choice!

How can you prove its really oem and not another labeled battery, ebay is trash these days plus dont forget to add your $20-30 dollar shipping charge on there
Well, how can you be sure that your Cingular store has OEM products and did not get scammed by another chinese suplier?
Next question is: does OEM still exist? In this days manufacturer do not produce their own stuff anymore, they go around shopping and getting the stuff from the cheapiest supplier! OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) really needs a new definition!
All the stuff is made in chaina anyway, and believe me: lots of the 'OEM' even in stores is not even close 'being OEM'. As example Cingular leather cases have never heard of HTC ...
If you think you got scammed on eBay with non-oem products you can file a claim! However, 1500mAh and above batteries are not OEM because of HTC never 'released' them for the Tytn, so, we are discussing in this thread non-OEM products and not OEM
Hi
i'm also in the market for a new battery
wondering if anyone here has managed to change the battery and also have any sort of battery meter show a 'half percentage'. by that i mean like, 61%, 62%, 63% and so on, and not as 60% 70% as is the case with my phone!
my phone only shows the battery level in 10% increments and its driving me up the wall!
i was also looking at a 'same size' 1500mah battery from a mildly reputable seller, can anyone reccoment one?
with thanks,
duke.

Sorry, the 10-percentage rate is all you will get with the HERMES!
so is there absolutely no way to get 1% increments on the hermes?! is this dependent on the battery or is it a phone thing?
The next best thing is a min timer for the battery, it goes by your current usage and estimates the time remaining on your battery down to the last min. I will try to find the link to the program, but IIRC it was part of GPRS monitor.
Found the link http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/gprsmonitor/?en
The Kaiser battery version show the exact %...wonder if anyone can hack that one to work on hermes?
I found an interesting battery replacement from Paylessgadget.com
http://www.paylessgadget.com/htc-y-4.html
It looks like a standard size battery, but it's 3600mAh!
It means 33.3% longer battery life than the original one. Very tempting.
One thing I'm worried about is I couldn't see any review before.
And this Paylessgadget.com is the only site (as far as I know) which is selling this battery.
Anybody here had experience with this battery?

The battery does not look to have an official brand and does not look like an HTC OEM battery, also it is listed under "BlackBerry" accessories. So this online retailer may have some specs wrong online.

Good to hear the seller went back to the original price. I own a business myself and I believe it's bad practice for a business to raise prices on the fly. $59.95 is a pretty sweet deal. I don't know if I should get 2 of these batteries over one mugen power 6600 battery. What are the pros and cons?

I'm waiting acarriles' review/comment.
Once he gets it, we can get more information.
I'm also thinking $59.95 is the pretty sweet price point.
Bad, bad, bad news...
I should have remembered my electricity 101: E=V x A Energy (watts) equals volts x amps.
The original battery is 2700 mAh, but 7.4 V, hence capable of producing 19.98 or roughly 20 Watts. On the othe hand, the Yoobao does have indeed 3600 mAh, but is only rated at 3.7 V !!!!! At first I thought it was a typo on their site, but the reality is that the Yoobao p.o.s. only produces 3.6x3.7 = 13.32 Watts, or only 66% of the original battery!!!!!!!
So the theory was clear, this battery was twice as expensive as the original one, and produced 1/3 less energy.
In any case, I did a full round of tests and the theory was right. In balanced powwer settings, I normally get 2 hours of light surfing use. With the Yoobao battery I hardly got 1 hour and 29 minutes. WHAT A WASTE AND WHAT A SCAM!
If I don't get a full refund on Moinday, I will do a full chargeback.
Buyer beware.
I thing I will now look into the Mugen...
hi acarriles, this doesn't make sense. How can a 3.7V battery drive a device that requires 7.4V, it wouldn't have worked in the first place??!! And the charging voltage (8.4V) and current coming from the Shift would kill the battery! Are you able to perform more extended test?
Expansys Shift battery 2700mAh @ 3.7V !
Dear all Shift owners , i have just spoken to Expansys , they confirmed that the Shift battery that they are selling is only 3.7V with 2700mAh and it is Oem manufacturer . This may mean that it may give your shift half of the battery life as compare to your original Htc battery ! So beware of the hours of capacity of these batteries as oppose to the mAh and Vdc of the mentioned specs . I think a safer investment ( costly it is ! ) would be either an original Htc battery , a 4400mAh Mugen battery or a 6600mAh mugen battery - all 3 rated at 7.4v , or big capacity extended battery for laptops . But just keep in mind and get to know more info of these cheaper oem batteries from china , unless lower price is your main concern . Thanks and regards - jimmunsw

Did you return your product yet?
If not, and you are stuck with it, can we do a test?
Would you mind opening the battery casing and taking a few pictures for me?
I am working a modular external battery where you can replace old/dead cells rather than the whole battery. I'm also working on making it selectable voltage to power at 3.7V (for an X7500) and 7.4V (for an X9500), plus making it scalable to where you can make it 2200, 4400, 6600, 8800, 11000, 13200, and up MaH simply by sliding another pair of of x7500 batteries into a holder.
see my post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3854691&postcount=65
This would be an external battery with cable, but if your pictures show me different, maybe the cells from the X7500 battery can be moved into the shell of the Yahboo shell....just trying new things here...
Dear Bradaland ,
Respect , i respect you for your hdd upgrading and now external battery mod for your advantage and shift , i too have both the device - fantastic device it is man , i hope you can share more with pictures or video for this battery mod , i may invest in sealed lead acid battery type but i now wait for your result first , also pls either you or our experts - please finish up with the bluetooth , sd card and mic and speaker plugin - these items are essiential to complete our wm6 critical usages . What about SSD instead of Hdd ? Can this be done by you too ? Please let me know . I like to thank you and all other gurus for all your wonderful and hardwork and sleepless nights for doing all you can and sharing with all shift owners around the world , it is just too damn good , cheers - jimmunsw
Sorry Bradaland, I already sent the battery back. $100 was too much money to waste in a useless battery... I may also try building one using lithium polimer cells... I'll keep you all posted. BTW I did install an SSD last week and the performance is phenomenal, well worth the investment.
Dear acarriles ,
I am looking at sealed lead acid battery of 12v 12Ah or 12v 17Ah complete with similar charger to power my shift for at least 6 to 7 hours at one go . It is big and comprises a strings of connections but it is cheaper than mugen power , plus point is it can also power other devices , but mobility is somewhat compromised ( but you know power is there ). It is very good to hear your ssd is working smooth and fast , i may look into that upgrade later . Cheers to you and bradaland - jimmunsw

it is not true, I get yesterday battery from expansys and is exactly the same as original one-no matter what expansys say the batteries are the same (i have shift uk version),so if one battery cost now £21.99 and has 2700mAh, for me is better to buy 3 this batteries than one chunky Mugen battery 6600mAh which cost about 130-140£ , and still before power runs out I can go to hibernate mode and change battery for fully charge one.

If you suspect bad quality but still think it's worth a shot, you can use a digital Lithium battery charger to test whether or not the battery holds true to its specs. Since I'm a RC-model hobbyist, I already have one and I'm considering to try out this pack and see if it's for real.
Besides, because it's a cheap pack it doesn't mean it's a bad pack. Most cellphone OEM packs out there are rebrands of cheap mass-produces. In fact, cellphone batteries are the cheapest of the cheap since there's no need for a high discharge rating. Some of the best packs I've used in my hobby are from chinese brands, they cost about 12 USD each and are much bigger and have a higher discharge tolerance than the one linked in this thread.
Also, I can tell you for sure that there's no need to worry about exploding batteries, the worst that can happen is that the voltage drops and the battery cell swells slightly during charge. This is refered to as a "bad cell" and as long as you discard the battery at first sign of swelling there is no danger. Burning or melting can only occur if you charge or discharge the battery too quickly (I mean WAY faster than a cellphone could ever accomplish), explosions are very hard to achieve but possible if you for example plug the battery directly into the mains. I've tried this a few times on old packs, and mostly you only get smoke and sometimes you get a proper BANG.

I got this on amazon and has been doing calibration with the battery monitor widget and its calibrating out to at least 2500mah. One peculiar thing is the first 40% or so drop by very fast, but then from 50-30 percent it last a lot longer, this has been notice by another poster also. the battery door is also decent, first generation soft touch rubber coating type material and not as ugly as the Seidio door

So can you please give me a rough estimate on how much longer this battery lasts? And would you recommend it over the stock battery?
Thanks,
Louis

You buy many spare batteries for the amount an original battery costs. One spare battery made in China is about € 2,50.
What the real capacity is doesn't matter, as long it does it job as spare battery, you can always order a second one.
Also would it be better to buy the 3500mah and use that as primary. or buy something like this:

And use it as a secondary battery? Which would provide the best overall battery life?
Thanks,

that is hard to say, because everybody usage pattern is different, but even if its only 2500mah it still comes to 50% more capacity then the stock 1700mah.
Last night charge cycle adjust it to about 2700 mah, I don't think its settle down yet, seem the more charge history the widget collect the more accurate the calibration should be.

Thats true. But, seriously i was not happy with the backup it provides. It was 50% of the oem.
as in for spare this is great. you can also try anker one, its great and cheap.
btw, it was about extended.

I can get 4 of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/High-Qual...ultDomain_3&hash=item43ab4ef97d#ht_2079wt_805 for the same price as the Anker?
Guys dont trust some of these batteries. I bought a few of these similar type batteries cause they were really cheap 2 for $9.99 with charger. This has been discussed to death already. I bought another set of 3x + 1 charger. They didnt last long at all. I peeled the stickers on all of them at they were all had 1000mah stamped on it but the sticker says 1800mah. This has been pointed out here before too. It was a complete waste of time and a hassle trying to get my $ back. Seller didnt bother taking the batteries back. For the total of $20 I spent and headache I couldve just bought and anker or chichitec. Which I did. I bought 2x 1900mah anker + charger for 24.99 a while back and they have been great. Been using them for 10 months now and last slightly longer than stock. I will look for the thread so you guys can do some reading but it did get pretty lengthy. Spend the extra $5 or even $10 and dont go for these cheap batteries.
Here's the thread. Take time to read it and it may be worth your trouble later down the road.
