New Battery!! - iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading

Using O2 Atom Exec..
I find the battery gets drained pretty quickly..
SO i went on ebay
found this
http://cgi.ebay.com/3200mAh-HI-BATT...ameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting
This battery claims to be"
3200mAH
THATS 2 TIMES the ones that came with the phone at 1530mAH
is this possible?? ??
Should i buy? My phone battery will last a lot longer?

DavidW, buy yours from Worcell. You should be in the area. I bought a standard cap battery from them but they have extended ones as well. Even the standard ones perform better. <_<

That's for real I've seen a lot of them. The problem is they make your phone fat.

it has a replacement back battery pack that will make ur atom bulky, coz the battery itself is bulky.

^ correct. Remember that it will no longer fit in standard cases you can buy from the shelves.

I already bought 1. I'm still waiting for it to arrive though. I'll give you guys some feedback as soon as it arrives. I'll post some pics too if possible.

Is there a difference between the XP-02 battery that comes with the atom and the XP-09 which can be bought (and says that it can be used in atom)?

Got my 3200mah battery!!!
It's thick!!! I couldn't use my original battery cover, they provided me anew bulkier one.
Not for thickness conscious people!!! Silicon case can help protect from scratches çoz it stretches. However, got to keep my metal case in the drawer çoz it couldn't fit. 2.1 times thicker than the original battery.
I love the battery life though. I kept it open from 11 PM to 9 am from 80% down to 57%. Backlight at minimum but lit all the way though 9 am.
Slow to charge.
I'll try and see how long it will last using wifi and will provide feedback.

Bro post some pic for us can?and wat brand did u buy? 11pm to 9am, 80% to 57% isnt too impressive actually. However Li batt need some usage before reaching its peak so expect the life to be longer after some usage
I saw some battery pack on web which hold 4xAAA battery that can charge our atom. Anyone have any ideas whether it will cause any potential problem to our batt or device? Im using a 1xAAA battery pack now for emergency use cos it wont charge much

Just before my Atom went to PDA heven ,
I bought a Mugen extended battery.
3000 mAh
came with 3 new covers (black/grey/white)
worked a treat , but did double the width of the phone
(can show you pic's if you like.)
Bought from a member of this site, who is one of the top 5 donators.
Australia based.
http://www.pressdigital.com.au
can highly recommend them .
(safer than e-bay IMHO )

Look like the one for ipod is it? how much did u pay for it?

Ok. I got the figures now. With 2 hours on and off usage of the Phone and about 3 hrs of solitaire (3% per 10 minutes of play), I ended up with 50% from 11 AM this morning to 9 PM. No wifi or gprs.
Wifi will eat 10% per 1/2 hr of use.
Charging time became considerably less. About the same as the original battery. Great already for me considering I used to charge at least 2 times a day with the original battery while it was still new. 4 times nowadays. (I charge whenever I see the battery is already down to 50 to 60%.
Sorry I couldn't send you a pic of the actual battery coz my wife is using our camera. Just imagine your atom turning into a turtle or a mini station wagon. The additional thickness is as thick as any plastic part of the side of the atom (it's plastic-rubber(volume button)-plastic).
The new battery doesn't come off easy. I mean it's easy to install but it's really hard getting it out. However, the cover that came with it can be used with both original and new batteries so you don't need to bring along 2 covers for long trips. I just wish they designed the cover better.
I bought this from "battery center" in ebay(not bidding though). It's about Php 1,169.00(USD 25.++) including shipping snd insurance. Cheaper than any atom battery you can buy here in the Philippines (cheapest so far is Php 1,400.00). Could be cheaper if I bought 3 or more.

1500 mAH Battery - good!

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.

here is a 2400 from boxware. what people should also let people know is what their overclock settings are and what people consider normal use. Im always on my phone texting or doing something.

ElectraSpan Extended Battery

Just curious if anyone has bought this battery..
http://www.boxwave.com/products/hig...acity-extended-battery-htc-blue-angel_460.htm
It shows it for sale for $.99 hah...that cant be right..anyone willing to give it a try?
well i just took the plunge and ordered 2, at that price i figured why not right? total is 10.43, shipping was overpriced obviously but whatever. Maybe they just cant get rid of the damn things and thats why they were so cheap (also they arent exactly big batteries). Seems our beloved PDA2k is being forgotten
so i got them today. They're OK, twice as thick as normal batteries, hence the 200% normal battery life, it hangs out a bit on the bottom, and the little push up clip is still what holds it in. Havent stress tested it yet. Made in China, for the money could be worth it. OH before i forget, if you have a normal cradle, itll push the BA into an awkward position but it doesnt seem to do any harm.

As promise here are the pictures enjoy
I got mine today but it's kinda weird..I charged it until the orange light changed to green, and left it for a couple of hours, and after that when I looked at the status it was at 97% already? In comparison the old battery (1490 mAh) needed about 7-8 hours to go down with 3% :/ Has anyone got problem like this or this is a reaction because it was charged for the first time?
After all it is not so fat and you can use it with your craddle and the default leather case
At first I had the same problem but it seems the battery life has gotten longer since i've been using it.
Thanks for the pics rafyvitto - I just ordered two myself (i guess I didn't need two, but it is nice since they are cheap). Its good to know it fits in the cradle, since that is all I have now (my wall adapter broke)..

I wonder how long these batteries have been sitting...
Things are normal now, I can say but it I don't find any big difference between the stock battery and this extended. With quite a lot of working with the ba, chatting and with about 20 minutes per day calls the battery lasts 3 days and a half which is not too bad For the price it is quite good But I'll think about buying a new one - this time 3200 or 3600 mAh despite of the sizes and weight
I too don't notice any significant difference over the stock battery. Now, two extra batteries for $2 (or $10 including shipping) isn't bad, but I am bummed that they don't last longer..

I don't notice a difference either.. It's possible these are just crappy batteries. The engrish on the back might be an indicator of that.

3000mAh Battery and cover

Have just bought an Hero 3000mAh battery and larger cover for £14.99 uk (free postage too) for a test. Will report back as to performance since it has just arrived and am in process of charging.
Only downside so far is thicker cover is black, but that is puerly a cosmetic factor and doesn't bother me too much. Am hoping that this will give me better than a days charge with Android 2.1 ROMs.
Am not sure that I can post where I bought the battery from on the Forum as this could be considered spamming. Could someone clarify if I am able to give the link.
I have just purchased one as well after seeing this post, Will hopefully be ok.
Initial impressions of the battery seem to be positive (pun intended). Had a slight worry when battery indicator dropped a single bar within an hour, 20 hours later and indicator is still sat at one bar from full.
Am still on my first charge and expect the battery to reach it's full potential (another pun) after a couple of charges. So far am very pleased with value of this battery and the charge it holds.
Could you maybe post some pics on how thick your hero is with the new battery
does a 3000Ma battery can do a damage to the phone?
if it doesn't, why everyone dont buy it?
Bit difficult for me to take photos at the moment, my camera is mounted up for my work and takes ages to set back up. The battery cover adds about 6mm to the depth of the phone in an area equal to the size of the battery. I actually have big hands and find it more comfortable to hold than the standard cover.

3000mAh is the capacity of the battery it should run for longer, not the voltage supplied so no damage should occur. The problem comes with quality control on aftermarket batteries, they can be of lower capacity than a standard battery, despite claims of a higher capacity.
There have also been cases of aftermarket batteries overheating and expoding, it is rare but can happen. I bought the battery as an experiment to see if it lived up to the claims and am prepared to take the small risk of serious hazards with the battery. In the end it's down to paying for a name and strict quality control, Kellogs Cornflakes or Unbranded Breakfast Crunchies.
The large capacity battery's make your phone fat and ugly
I rather work with 20 hours of total battery life with a beautiful piece of kit, then to run 40 hours with an ugly 80's looking fatso.

One thing I have noticed about charging this battery, is that the indicator will show battery as fully charged. I found that giving an extra hour after fully charged is shown will give a much better charge. So far the battery will give a good 36Hrs with Wifi continually on, haven't tried it with WiFi off for a long period, so far about 12hrs and it is still showing fully charged.
Thanks 13...
this was really helpful... i will go ahead and buy one
Has this battery worked good for you guys? No problems? I kind of need a bigger battery for the times I'm doing jobtravels etc. Earlier experiences in non original batteries are both good and bad. Bought a battery for my HTC Diamond, and the phone got fried. Don't wanna experience that again (even though my job buys me new phones when I need one)...
Just wanted to know you my experiences.
I have a 2600 mAh extended battery and my running time of the phone with enabled WiFi and Nimbuzz is about 48 hours. Without WiFi, pure Standby, is about 85-90 hours.
You need at least 10-15 recharge cycles to get the full capacity out from the battery.

Sounds great. I might have to try one of these batteries. What battery did you buy?
I bought one of this too, off Ebay. Although the phone is a bit uglier and slightly heavier, the battery seems to last between 2 and 3 times as long. I gotta say it's totally been worth it. The extra size isn't that noticable either...most people look at the front, right?
Well i bought one and i rly dont like it.
Its almost a half centimeter bigger and allot heavier.
So be ware the phone does get ugly but you do get more battery power.
Tbh i rather recharge my phone everyday then make it so ugly
I've just ordered this battery.
Can any one give some real numbers? For example how long will it last with 3g network active. I bought this one for outdoor activities when I can't recharge for a few days and I would like to know how many days I can depend on it.
Thanks!
I rooted my phone and tweaked the crap out of it.
Runs 48 hours with standard battery now.
No need for fat and ugly
I have this battery + cover too.
Because it's bigger, I find it easier to press the hardware buttons on the bottom of the front of the Hero. THe only drawback is the total volume in your pocket, but that's just a minor point.
Also, flashing Modaco's 3.1 Rom and the newest RADIO Rom, the phone lasts for about 6-7 days with normal use (wifi/3g on when i need it, some regular phonecalls/texts)

[Q] Any one tested G1 1700mah battery?

Old battery is running out of juice. Recently found some 1700mah drea160 g1 battery on ebay. Any one tested them yet?
What happen to the ecell 1500mah battery? couldn't find it anymore.
By the way, I'm looking for a standard battery (fits in original housing), please reply if you have something to share. Thanks
Don't know if its the same battery i bought about half a year ago at ebay germany but i had no luck with it.
It was labeled as 1700 mah battery... now, 7 month later the battery has power for about 6 hours in standby (think about 500mah rest capacity)
Even in the first months the battery had not more power than the original htc 1150mah battery, the standby time was about the same.
I recommend not to buy it... better get one or two cheaper standard capacity batteries
Sent from my T-Mobile G1 using XDA App
well I just ordered mine off ebay, total came to a lil over 5 bucks.
Im guessing its not gonna pan out, but hopin it'll be at least as good as stock, and if its either of those, im getting my money back and keeping the battery. So tis a win for me no matter what.
I'll do review.

There's a flood of standard capacity battery on ebay that I can't tell which is good and which is bad. I'm just wishing to get one that will last slightly longer than stock or as long as stock. Guess I will have to look around for a bit.

well just recieved my battery, its fake, and came with a sticker stating 2500mah! Lmao. same size as stock. But im gonna try it out for a week, and as long as it works better than my old battery, i'll give positive feedback and not request my money back.

This battery works great for me, have had it a few weeks now, has easily doubled my battery life and standby time is crazy it never has come close to dying while on standby.
The one I received is a little different than the one pictured, my backplate has just the camera recessed and not the whole area around it. So the back is even throughout.

ha 2500mah. No wonder the seller did not reply me when I asked if this is truly 1700mah battery. Alright, let me know how it goes. Thanks
Guys,
I found a 1700mah battery on ebay (restriction on new users stops me from providing the link, but it's from Seller austintexwireless ( 18439 sales))
Do you think it's fake at 1.60$?...
I am looking to buy a bigger battery, but I do not want the extended packs with thick back covers, so would prefer one that fits the original slot.
Any advice?

Here you go http://cell-phones.shop.ebay.com/i....kw=&_osacat=20336&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313
I ordered three batteries off ebay. Two of them were delivered and I'm waiting for the last one. One of the batteries is 1050 Mah and the other is 1150. They both hold equally with a little edge for the 1150 one. I'm really sceptic that in this thickness the battery could have a larger capacity than the stock one. This is a limitation of the Li-Ion technology. However, both of those batteries are much better than the swollen stock one after 1,5 years of use and do a great job. One more thing. The 1050 one was from HongKong and cost me about $3 and the bigger one was from UK and cost me about 7-8$, but was delivered much much faster. I think that you can't go wrong with a battery for 3-4$ but I recommend getting two batteries and an external charger - it's a must have for power users. That's it.
My ANDIDA 1600mAh battery begins to show its age (used to last at least 1-day of use, sometimes 2-day if use is light, now barely make it over a whole day) after 11-month of use. So I got a new 1700mAh (by SCUD) battery.
I shall report back how it performs after a few days of use...
ANDIDA 1600mAh
SCUD 1700mAh
P.S. They both weigh 24g.
A quick search finds that lithium ion's specific energy density ranges from 150 to 250 W·h/kg. If we take the highest specific energy density, so 24 / 1000 * 250 = 6W·h (WHr). Divide 6W·h by 3.7V * 1000 = 1621mAh.
So it's THEORETICALLY possible that these batteries can contain 1600-1700mAh of juice. Whether they can actually store as much is, well, another matter.
Of course, the above calculations haven't taken into consideration of the weight of the housing and the circuitry so the figures should be a bit off.
P.P.S. I remember the original battery (1150mAh) weighed a few grams more through.

that pictures even says 2500 mah, I wouldn't trust it.
so, after a few days of use, it isn't as good as the andida when it was new. the andida surely lasted me at least 1-day of uses (unless i'm using gps the whole time, which drains the battery in a few short hours). this one, it lasts a day of moderate use but not much left.
i'm hoping that with more uses, it will be more "warmed up" and last longer.
i'll report back if this happens.
Looks like the SCUD can last 1.5 day of use mostly.

[Q] Whats the best battery?

Hi all,
at the moment, my hero sprint (I think this is the proper name) is running on the factory 1350mAh battery. I am pretty content, but I am reading about 1800mAh batteries that should live a lot longer! But on the batteryboss.org I see most are just rip-offs.
Whats the battery of your choice? What are your results and: where did you order it?
I am more than open for all advice about this subject, as long as the battery fits in the stock opening. I do not want my hero to become any bigger than is is

Read the five pages and it should give you an idea as to which battery (if any) you want.
Unless your away from your charger for more than one night then the standard htc battery should be sufficient, although I personally have the huuuuge 3200mAh battery which is amazing and lasted over 40 hours for me even with wireless and gps pretty much constantly on. Hope that helped

I also have a 3200 mAh battery and its lasted 14 days on minimal use! That's how good the Hero can be! I use the stock Battery for day to day use though as I get 2 days out of it usually.
I use 2200mAh purchased from Clove uk (part number is HTC-BATEHEROW-B15).
My battery goes down to 60-70% after a day use, WiFi on all time and quite a lot of calls.
It used to go down to 20-30% with the orginal battery.
The real good thing is that the phone has now taken an extra 5mm of thickness and this extra bit makes it much much easier to hold on my hands.
The cover color is real white and does not match the white Hero color, no big deal.

I dont expect many will have a much higher capacity worth buying if you dont want to add depth to the phone soory
If anyone is interested the Clove batteries (2200mAh) are only £7ish delivered to the UK now!
It may be a pricing error? no idea, either way Ive ordered!
Only available in white though... but almost twice the power for less than a 10er! Im in!
(I will probably cover the back cover in stickers anyway... its what all the Apple people do so its easily acceptable for a Android user to do it lol)
I also bought one And thank god i ahve a white hero
i bought one too...
Well my order just got cancelled by them because apparently they arnt in stock (even though they have been on the site listed as 'in stock' for the past few days) and they have removed the item from the site!
Havn't responded to my email asking if my money has been returned either!
Very professional...

50% at 1d12h7m
and i've been using the phone quite a lot, including a couple of full wipe-flashing-backup
I have a 3200 mAh battery somewhere. But I really don't like the bulky back. When using Froyo, I had to use it as my phone wouldn't survive 12 hours with the stock battery. Now, running Gingerbread, a 1500 mAh battery I bought from DealExtreme for 5 USD lasts about 20 hours normale use.

You do have to cut away a little bit of the plastic though. But they are cheap, I've got two of them now, one in the phone and one charged in my pocket.
I think this is as big as it's going to get without having to replace the backdoor?
How about sun global battery? Does anyone of u use it before?

A 6 Cell Lithium Ion Battery is best Everrrrrrrrrrr
wich one did you guys bought: the 2200mAh or the other big one?
kudos
Can anyone link me to this clover batteries for the Hero, please?
Digging up old thread but just wondered,has anyone used those 1550 mAh replacement batteries.
I'd like to buy one from ebay but i don't know if it is worth it.
Thanks in advance
There's 3200 mAh, 2200 mAh, 1550 mAh, and the stock 1350 mAh batteries.
I have the 2200 mAh version.
Its only $13.75 USD and is smaller than the 3200 mAh version.
It comes with the back case and lasts almost twice as long as the stock battery.
I wouldn't spend +$79 on just a battery. I'd rather buy 2 2200 mAh batteries. Cheaper and easier to carry.
