Has anyone looked at Laza's 3240mah on Amazon? I wonder how well it will work. I purchased one for 9.99 and paid less than $15 after shipping. It came in today and I got it on the charger now. Looks like Amazon has it for 14.99+S&H now, but has anyone bought this before? If so, how is the life?
Cannot post link because of new account.
Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/Laza-3240mah-...3MP7F92W1P0LP&qid=1336612561&s=generic&sr=1-8
It seems kinda cheap looking but I could be wrong. May be worth it for that price tho!
For that price I will try another Ext. Battery.
those reviews look SO fake. if it drops down to 9.99 again, maybe i'll grab one ;D
No thanks. That thing will either stop holding charge within a couple months, or explode next to your head while its on the nightstand charging overnight....
The review on the bottom is fake. Companies that review their own product often spell "the" as "teh" in their posts to make you think its real because it contains a typo..... But i'll stick with the $25 extended battery I got from my local VZW store...
Well, one thing I noticed is that I cannot connect to 4G. Anybody have any idea why?

Hah, that's what I figured. Thought I'd give it a shot for 10 bucks. Im working with them right now to see if they can resolve it, but I also placed an order for the oem htc 2750mah one last night. lol
Battery door probably didn't come with the radio contacts. Now we know why it is so cheap

Yea, I was looking at that too, but didnt want to spend the 100 bucks on a non HTC battery as this is my first time looking for an extended battery. Just didnt trust paying that high of a price. I definitely could be wrong about it though. At least now, pending on whether the $10 battery will first HTC's extended battery door, I will have a 2750mah and a 3240mah battery to switch between.

Have you tried downloading battery monitor free and seeing what it shows up as? My oem extended shows like 2740 or something. I appreciate the answer though. You mind if I ask what kind of screen on time your getting? I usually get in the 5h range. I've made it almost 6 before using strictly wifi.

So i went to bestbuy today to see if i could find a case for my shiny new white amaze, and although i didnt find a case, i did get a seidio 1900 mah extended battery for the evo 3d... although its for the evo 3d, it fits perfectly inside the Amaze... and its the same thickness as well so it doesn't interfere or alter the way the backplate fits, i have'nt used it for a full day yet, but will report back with how much better/worse the battery life is with the seidio after i calibrate it/use it for a few days... for those of you who want the battery and go to bestbuy to grab one, ask the associate for the "Pt spare battery" for the Evo 3d, as it doesn't say seidio anywhere on the packaging for some reason, but it does say it on the back of the battery... it looks cool too..

Cool.
How about compared with the OE battery though? I ask because each user's experiences varies, so I'm curious as to - holding all else constant - what the difference between the OE and Sedio are. Thanks!
dont really know, i havent used the OE battery for more than 3 hours on the first day before i switched to this... but what i can say is the OE battery was draining so rapidly that it pushed me to call my wife and tell her to bring one home with her, and since that point ive been extremely happy with its performance....

Thanks. Yeah I haven't had over 7 hours of life on this battery. I know I've been using it a lot, but I didn't touch it for an hour and have already turned down the sync crap etc. and it still dropped 10% when I checked it one hour later.

I've been getting about 22 hours with moderate use on the phone and I have bluetooth on and sync on all day and night. the Original battery i would get about 12 hours of use. btw 3.7v vs 3.8 does not hurt the phone or it's performance

I am on the fence, Now that i hear the sensation Anker battery works i can get 2 of those plus a charger for 29 or get the evo 3d battery for 49. guess the only difference is the evo battery is 3.8v like the Amaze and the sensation battery is 3.7v. any suggestions?
I don't know how you able to get that Good battery life. I hardly got half day via stock battery. Maybe i use a lot.
On Seidio i get close to 11 hrs on heavy use and on moderate use i came close to 18 hrs.

I recommend Chichitec 2000 mah. battery. Fits under stock cover comes with 2 batteries and a wall charger. I never run out of juice and it costs $30 bucks at the most. Been using mine for about 5 months now and is still running good. Need to calibrate when first using it charge it up fully then fully drain for 3 times each battery then your good to go.

Good find for 14.00 what the heck.. can't be any worse than my stock bat.
I got one of the 1,800 AceSofts with a battery charger on eBay for like $15 total. I didn't see any gain at all with it, even after a couple cycles. I bought the Mugen, after making sure if it didn't do anything I could return it, and got good results. The first two days with it saw awful life, but I followed their directions and now get about 15% better life. Which doesn't really do much for standby time, but with the same screen on time, I can go to bed now at like 30% instead of around 15-20. Can't really fully recommend it yet, as I know a lot of these third party batteries lose their max mAh over time pretty quickly. But as for now, the Mugen is worth it for me. Kinda want to try the 4,000mAh, but it's waaaaay to expensive lol
Ordered one as well. I have the Mugen 1900 and my accuracy readings were always off. The phone always went from 24% -14% within seconds and would die rigth after that. I did the battery stats things and that didn't help (I know it doesn't really calibrate the battery at all) so I put my stock back in and I'm getting the same battery life with it that I was with the Mugen. and its nice to have an accurate battery again. We'll see how this one does. The Mugen battery is rediculously overpriced. We shall see how this one does.

Thunderbolt batteries work. I have a thunderbolt 2750 extended in my phone, right this second. I swap it in with my normal 2750 rezound extended. They're $4, all over the place (without the back cover, which you don't need anyway, because it's the wrong one).
I'd imagine if they make 1980's or anything like it for thunderbolt, that one of those would be worth trying as well.
got mine on saturday
Ok I received my 1980 battery yesterday I am going to charge it up for 6 hours per the instructions. I'll post my results later this week.
Here are initial results. It died at the red mark. Went from 19% to 8% in about ten minutes then just died. So that's about 15 hours with 3 hours of streaming music from play music in a low reception area. Keep in mind this is day one (and I did calibrate the battery before use)
This Space For Rent...Fax me
Screen time on that? Are you pleased with the results so far?

Personnelly, I spent $10 and bought 4 spare batteries and a battery charger and I just replace on the go.
Most of these batteries they sell on Ebay are overrated in the actual mah capacity they claim. There is a way to check the mah with a meter and a small load and a timer but to me its too much trouble.
Some are good some are not. You are essentially buying a pig in a poke. They are cheap, not doubt about that.
Here is a lot I bought out of china. They sold these in a lot of 10 for $39.00 with free shipping. Took about two weeks for me to get them.
So, that's about $4.00 each. They seem fine.

As long as you don't charge them, they will have a long shelf life. Once you charge them then you should use them by cycling.
I only use 2 for now, rotating them out. If you play games or watch movies, the battery drains fast. I know its a pain to pop the back off and swap em but at least you can do it.
The new EVO 4G LTE, does not come with a removable battery. Once you run it down, it has to go on the charger. One feature I don't like about it. However, I think HTC is moving in that direction on all their future phones.
I like being able to change the battery. I used to listen with headset all day at work with my phone in my shirt pocket at the factory. I would have to swap out two to three batteries a day. I had a stack of them on another HTC phone I had.

I really hope your wrong. Although I wouldn't doubt it. Real stupid move. I'm gonna say it might really hurt them financially. This is one of the many reasons I've stayed away from that i-crap out there. I would have been one of the first on the waiting list to get the new evo 4g from sprint. I've been following that phone a long time. No quad core and lack of being able to replace a battery, no thanks.
I like extended batteries no matter how good the stock one is. My evo 3d stock battery is way better than when I had my evo 4g with stock battery. I'm rooted and runnin swagged out with the kernel it came with. I get 1-3 days of battery life with my stock evo3 battery. Can't wait till the end of the week for my new ext battery to get here. I'm really hoping I see 2-5 days or more. Not many phones will do that. Not even those precious i-devices those sheep love.

I'm going to guess and say they will fit just fine. I have the same charger and their pic shows it being flush with the top of the chatter. Plus it doesn't come with a extended battery back cover. Factory evo 3d batteries are 1730mah and those are 1900mah. Not much difference there. Its not like its a 2500-4000mah battery.

Will this fit the stock battery cover?

Yes, I did say the Anker 1900 fits fine and is a better than stock battery

There is no being wrong about it. The phone is out. This is easy to prove.
I've played with it. The HTC rep at Radio Shack had one.
The battery life is tremendously good on the phone especially giving the size of the screen. However, like I say when its dead or almost there, it has to be on the charger. You cannot simple just swap in a fresh battery. Ain't happening on that phone. And I agree, big mistake for HTC - I reckon they're counting on the fact they've add enough bells and whistles to get you to overlook this.
I've always had an idea for a battery. Why can't they make a battery like a capacitor. Where it would charge up in like a nano second and discharge very slowly as needed on demand. That way, when you need to charge it, you'd just walk over the charger, zap it for 2 seconds and unplug it --- good to go for another few days.
Also what every happened to fuel cell powered cell phones? They told us that one fuel cell would power the phone for 20 to 30 years without ever charging. Science fiction I guess.
Even the new film type screens they're working on will require power. Even if you can get the screen as thin as a dollar bill and flexible, its still going to require a battery.
Just saw these on eBay. They come with a different looking back cover and only cost about $10. I also saw a similar one made by Hyperion.. might be a good compromise between the oem extended (2750mAh) and the mugen (4000 mAh) if it's accurate..

And the Hyperion version

Went for the Hyperion. Will report back.
Yeah it seems worth the risk of $10-15...the only thing holding me back is that I already have a diztronic extended tpu case and this new style wouldn't fit it. I might be willing to chop up one of my standard tpu cases though...I'll have to think about it..

I don't trust Hyperion. I bought a couple regular-sized batteries and one of them shorted out and overheated quite a bit. I have no problem with my Laza Zcell, which is also an intermediate between the HTC Extended and the Mugen
Truth be told I bought two of the standard size Hyperion batteries a long time ago that came with an external charger too. They were defective but Hyperion gave me a full refund and let me keep it all (I still use the charger). They told me they had been having some issues and something to the effect of "please give us some time to work out the kinks and we'll figure it out." They were very nice and helpful and I was impressed by there customer service so I'd be willing to give them another shot. (LISTEN UP HTC and Verizon! Good customer service helps in the long run! )
Edit: and no, I don't work for them or anyone for that matter!

Frankly, I'm surprised that Verizon's batteries aren't locked down so you can only recharge them on their cables and chargers. That's sort of the attitude they take with everything else they sell, isn't it?

Samsung is like that but it was part of the kernel and easily avoided

bought a couple of hyperion standard batteries for the thunderbolt and they always died between 10-15%. Not sure I trust them. Also, that back door is fugly. I wonder if my stock extended battery cover would fit?
I tried the hyperion battery and i couldn't get any signal with the battery.
I liked the feel of the cover but the best signal I could get was 1x. even with the OEM extended battery and the hyperion cover.
The OEM cover and the hyperion battery seemed to also block my signal. Couldn't get any signal with any of the hyperion parts. I'm glad I didn't spend too much on it
Well that's disappointing...as I stated before, they were at least really nice about it when i tried their standard ones. I'm sure if you're tactful/polite they'll give you a full refund. Who knows, maybe that unnamed cheaper non Hyperion one works? I'm just a big fan of buying random cheap sh*t off eBay to see what I get. I've got some really fun stuff around the $2 range like a 3.5mm dust plug with a mini android in it, a gold stylus shaped like a feather, etc...but I digress.

Same happened to me with the back cover not getting a signal. This in turn caused the battery to die faster.

Lmfao, I do the same thing. I will give the unbranded one a shot when payday comes.
Yup. The Hyperion back seriously sucks. The OEM extended battery back fits well enough if the Rezound is in a case, though.
Finished my first deep discharge and will give it 5 cycles with the OEM back before passing judgment.
Dumped down the innertubes from my Rezound via xda premium.
I had one of these batteries for my og EVO, sadly when I peeled it apart out of curiosity it was just two 1100mah batteries in parallel. So I doubt it will be better than the HTC extended batt.

Well, if that's the case, it would still be 400 mAh better than the stock extended (ie 1600*2). And considering that I have almost no service at work I regularly kill my 2750 in 8-10 hours. Plus it would be nice to be able to listen to streaming music for more than 8 hours on LTE.

I am going to the trouble of actually running this thing down to near 10% before recharging (I don't want to go further because some ROMs have an anomaly where they misreport battery level). I've just finished my third discharge cycle and I'm getting 24 hours with active use of the handset, including media playback through BT, phone calls, texting, web access, etc. That's good enough for me, although I will follow-through with 2 more full discharges as instructed and see what my mileage is.
BTW, the battery works fine with the "original" Verizon Extended Battery back, so I probably will never use that crappy Hyperion back again.

So is it lasting longer than the oem extended battery so far?

To be honest, I've never tried a full run-down of my OEM Extended (the 2750 mAmp from Verizon). I guess I ought to do that to get a truer measure.
