Need suggestion for battery to purchase - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm in the market for a battery for my Atrix 4g. I don't want one that needs a change for the backplating. (I have a nice car dock for it that I have and want to continue using that doesn't support thicket Atrix cases)
So the guidelines are:
-no new backing for the phone (original cover)
-highest battery size possible
-id prefer it if the phone recognized the true % of the new battery instead of the "stuck at 1% but still have lots of battery left" bug a lot of people are running into with other batteries
Appreciate any help! (I've looked all through the forums and can mostly find support/threads for the extended batteries with the new backings)

From my experience these batterie's are not that bad:

I discovered this also as I bought a 2nd Atrix 4G and it came with 2 spare batteries that always show 1%. I guessed it was due to them being not original. Does that 2300mha battery show proper battery stats?
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium

Any known heating problems with the 2300 battery?

Buy the Motorola Universal Dual-Charging Portable Power Pack (Motorola P793 Power Pack) - Black - Retail Packaging @ Amazon for $22. It's amazing. Small (4" (110mm) long, 2.2" (55mm) wide and 0.4" (10mm) thick, and weighs about 2 ounces) and light as a feather and capable of instantly powering/charging your Atrix and many other devices thru a separate USB outlet SIMULTANEOUSLY. Bought a second one for my wife to be able to have instant power/recharge for her Windows mobile device. Devices can be used while charging. One of my "best buys"!

Larger Capacity Batteries == thicker G1?

I usually wouldn't care about the size of my G1 and adding thickness to it for the sake of adding battery life but as of late I gotten a hold of a nice plastic cover for my G1 which also doubles as a neato belt clip (for only 10 bucks... flirtin with them T-Mobile ladies does me good ).
Thus, now adding thickness to my phone in exchange for getting rid of this hard cover/belt clip isn't a option I'm very likely to take up and last I checked up on high capacity batteries it would add sigificant thickness like a 2100mah (or was it 2400 *shrugs*). Was wondering if there's any batteries that doesn't add to overall physical size while giving me better then stock life of just 1100mAh. Thanks!!
I know how you feel, I have a sexy ass neon green hard case for my g1, make it look sick. I had the same problem and tried three different battery retailers online for an extended life battery. The one that I settled on was the Andida: check out this post. You can find the eBay seller most of the people in the thread bought it from, good seller but ships from Hong Kong so shipping takes a while. I'd solidly recommend the Andida, I've had nothing but excellent performance out of it, considerably better than the OEM battery from HTC. Some people had mixed reviews about it, but in my experience, it was an excellent purchase.
I'm also using an Andida battery I bought off of ebay for just under $10, and it works beautifully! It's a 1600mAh battery with the exact same dimensions as the stock 1150mAh battery HTC provides, giving you 40% more battery life between charges without adding any thickness to the phone. It's the highest capacity battery I've found that doesn't require you to get a deeper back cover.
I've been useing the Innocell 1400mAh battery and its worked out quite nicely.
i use the regular battery, and it works for me 2 days, with lots of use and 3g use

Not necessarily lies. Battery life is heavily dependent on your particular rom.
Hero based roms seems to suck battery like no tomorrow.
If you are running a hero based rom, try running the latest Cyanogen rom and post back results.
I get a couple of days on my Fommy 1700 regularly.

Screw it, I'm ordering one, and I'll let you all know how it does. I remember how much I loved the heft of my treo 755p... still miss that phone sometimes, but the g1 does all the things that I loved it for and more, all it needs is the gigantic battery life, and now it may have it.

[Q] 3500 mah Gorilla Battery

Has anyone tried this for the atrix? It seems like to good of a deal to pass up for the price. However I want to be able to see how much power I actually have left and have seen mixed reviews on other sites.
All I have to say is.. that thing is HUGE!!!

This is the right one, right?
Yup. That's the one.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I've had one about 2 days now. Read reports saying to go full discharge/ full charge about 4-5 cycles to realize full potential. I've ran it down once fully and down to about 30% a few times but with my work schedule/activities I dont like to let it get too low for fear of having to be leashed to a wall plug or charger for awhile. BUT i can say that the life seems to be getting better and as for the actual size of it.. seems big at first and in pix but i'm fully used to it now and I'm comfortable with it. Havent checked the actual stats on how long since unplugged in comparison to the stock, but I'd say for the price it was worth it..
At $30 I'm thinking about it. How much thicker did this make your phone rickriego?
I am guessing that this doesn't work well if you use the fingerprint reader?
Might be able to get used to the added dimensions, but how about weight? Was that pretty noticeable?

I have had a 3200 mAh battery from Seidio for about 3 months. I have all my radios blazing throughout the day. I listen to music over the cell network while in my car for a 1 hour commute. I leave my GPS on all the time. I use Bluetooth in my car. In short I have all the features of my Atrix that I paid for. I get 16 hours on a charge on a hard day. I plug it into the charger at bed-time.
The battery shown above may well be phoney. My Seidio is the real deal. I have no financial interest in Seido.
I am on stock OTA GB from AT&T. My only complaint is that by early afternoon my Atrix begins to complain (falsely) that my battery is depleted. I've haven't researched the problem fully yet, but there is a battery daemon (battd) that I think I can kill and end that silliness.
I have tried all manner of battery calibration juju to no good end, I have posted about it in other threads with lots of advice and no resolution. Let's not hijack the OP's thread.

Seems same brand as this one http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-HIGH...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item519a60619e ( I have an optimus) which is $2.95 .., someone is making a lot of money if it's selling for $30
BTW I have the above battery and it works fine, if I had to guess I'd say 1200mAH, seems worse than stock 1500 slightly. after 20 charge cycles I think it's starting to go bad, not sure yet, it died at 40% the other day.
I just recieved this one and WOW
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/3-7v-3...-pack-with-back-cover-for-moto-ma860-4g-65800
Streamed a 2h 20m movie over wifi without taxing it at all. Plus when it fell to 1 percent it stayed on for about an hour. I'm on cyanogenmod right now so I know the larger size battery needs to be recalibrated. I am also assuming that when you switch from the lower MAH to the higher one the battery information stored on your phone would then be incorrect. Basically everytime you switch batteries you should clear your battery memory in your recovery or download a proper recalibrating app to do so. Hope this helps everybody!

[Q] Rezound Battery Compatibility

Just was curious if anyone knew if the battery for the Rezound would be compatible with other HTC's like the Thunderbolt. Been searching but no real answers. I know battery life is gonna be horrible b/c i've been using the Incredible (original) for almost 2yrs and ended up getting a battery only charger swapping batteries. Thanks in advance!
I was wondering the same thing as I would like to bring over the Thunderbolt's Mugen 4500mAh battery. Although, it's one thing if the battery fits... but another all together if the antenna connectors on the rear panel will also match up.
Did some digging and found a couple of things. VZW sku ADR6425LVW. The OEM model number for the battery is BTR6425B which is compatible with the HTC HD7 and HTC Wildfire S. Couldn't find anything regarding the Thunderbolt although the battery model numbers were similar.

I can tell you for a fact that batteries from the bolt and rezound fit perfectly in each phone however one problem the voltage for a thunderbolt battery is 3.7 and a rezound battery is 3.8 so they don't match voltage wise.
I was also very curious about this. Was going to look for some cheap non-oem batteries like I did for the og incredible - i bought 2 1400mah batteries and wall charger for $13. they lasted about 75% as long as the stock battery did-

Same thing I did. Got a spare and an old Eris battery with 2 charge cradles.
This may be a long shot but since the Rezound is based on the Sensation...I wonder if we could order OEM HTC Sensation XE batteries? The XE did receive a bump up to 1730mah but the difficult thing is they are only sold in Europe.
It would be a nice OEM upgrade if we could get our hands on them.
HERE is a link for example
Actually the rezound battery isnt 3.8, mine says 3.7 on the back.

This is incorrect. The voltage of most, if not all, mobile phones is 3.7v. The Rezound is no exception.
The Thunderbolt battery will work, but there are different part numbers. I suspect that this is due to the Thunderbolt battery being slightly longer. When I put it in vs the Rezound extended it fit far more snug. Doubt it would matter, but there is a difference.
I am using both batteries daily. I start my day with my Rezound battery and when it dies I put in my TB battery. Its only a 1400 mAH, but it'll get me through those times when I'm not near a charger. One thing the TB batter does when in the Rezound is it grays out the battery icon on the notification bar with an exclamation mark over it. Despite the warning, lower voltage or whatever, it has worked fine and I have not noticed any performance issues.

Weird mine says 3.8, Id rather not have an error I think it would bug me even if there were no other drawbacks. I wont use a big extended battery. I need a spare battery and a battery charger soon I just dont know if I should wait or grab some thunderbolt battery's, I guess when charging my phone 3 times a day becomes more annoying than an error icon I will do it.

Hmm, I would try it, I've got Amazon Prime, so returns and shipping are free.
Anyone else think it would fit based on the pics?
If those pix are accurate, I'm going to guess it won't fit because that battery looks more square as opposed to the Rezounds more rectangular shape. But if you have free returns, what the heck.
I searched far and wide for batteries from other devices that could be compatable. Only other I know of is from the Tbolt. The Sensation (including XL & XE) definitely will not work as the dimensions are completely different. The Evo3d is kinda close though.
I emailed that company and they would not be developing a slim extended battery for the Rezound.

That would be great if you can do that for everyone. Companies will say they won't be developing for lots of reasons but number one is no access to the particular phone for testing. This just might be their r&d down for them.

Just FYI guys...
All lithium ion batteries in use for cell phones are 3.7v nominal. (voltage under moderate load, which is about half of rated capacity of a given battery... this is where we got the 3.7v rating standard) When fully charged the battery will be at 4.2v with no load. No phone actually puts enough load on the battery for it to read 3.7v until the charge is depleted enough. In fact these batteries are safe to discharge own to 3v (the real 0% empty for lithium batteries) but the minimum operating voltage for these phones is around 3.5v (which is about the 15-20% mark of the standard discharge curve for lithium ion) So the whole "never completely discharge your phone battery because it is bad for it" is bunk. You can't completely discharge the battery and 15% is a safe discharge level for the battery.
Also the mAh rating for a lithium ion battery is usually calculated from the empty 3v mark to the full 4.2v... So unless the phone batteries are calculated from the 3.5v mark then we can't use the full amount, but bigger is always better regardless. This fact is why I am wary about the off brand batteries that claim to have 100-200 more mAh than a stock battery. Because if the stock batteries are rated by usable power (4.2v-3.5v) and the off brands rated from the unusable 3v then the 100-200mAh difference is misleading as its not really usable. That difference is easily in the 15-20% range that would be left over in a battery only discharged to 3.5v

1800mAh Battery for the HTC Rezound

After 2 days of use the stock Rezound battery can easily last me 10+ hours of use, so I've been on the lookout for a higher capacity battery that keeps the slim profile of the phone, as opposed to the larger 2750mAh external pack that adds a hump to the back.
Stumbled upon this today:
http://shop.htcpedia.com/htc-rezound-extra-capacity-battery-1800mah.html
An extra 180mAh puts it close to what the GNexus would ship with, and just might be enough of a boost for the light/moderate users. I'm just hoping that the rating is indeed 1800mAh and not one of those cheap knock-offs that can barely keep up with the stock 1620mAh.

Ive had my eye on that battery as well, wont be instock till next week though, since the thunderbolt battery fits in this phone I have been contemplating buying one of the slimmer extended batteries used for it and using it in the rezound, atleast they are already tried and tested so we know which ones are working as advertised.
you must be a minimal user to get the battery to last that long.
after doing some streaming(or downloading), watching some videos & browsing the web, the phone lasts about 2 - 3 hours w/ stock.
(yes i know about bump charging, calibrating, etc)
strange, the battery is no longer listed on the htcpedia rezound accessory page, but the link still works

If the 1800 is a good quality battery and can fit in the standard back plate I'm down to get it. get about 4.5 hours is display on time right now so I'm cool with that. But if it was 5 or more I'd be even more down lol.

2 to 3 hours?!? wtf? My battery lasted 26 hours on a full charge before it died! That was setting up the phone after a factory reset and then streaming high quality music over slacker at various times. I set the phone to airplane mode while I was sleeping.
So did any1 ever get their hands on this one?

I have to think that legit companies like Seidio don't do this when they sell extended batteries.
Their 1750 for the Eris/Incredible (came with 1300mah) really did seem to add hours of life to the usability of the phones. I must assume that some companies rate things in terms of usability, and some do _not_
pko, i had that 1750, and it didn't do crap. the life of it lasted much less than HTC batteries did; seideio makes crap batteries that are a sham. many people did studies and found it was barely a 1400 mah battery. i bought the stock HTC 1500 mah battery fort he inc and it added more time than the 1750.

I had the same exact experience.
For those who fail to see increased usage time using non-oem batteries, could you mention also the brand of those batteries? I am in the market for a larger-capacity battery (only when they will come out in the near future, I hope). And based on the reviews on Amazon there are a couple of brands that seems to be receiving fairly consistent positive reviews.
I picked a pair of these up on ebay yesterday. Came with the charger (which is what I *really* want, as I already got a second stock battery on sale) and another power cord (which you can never have too many of).
I used similar OEM batteries in my Incredible, also 1800's which just barely fit inside the "default" back. I'll report back on my experience after I have them and run them for a few days. I did find that the ones in my Incredible ran pretty well.
I know everyone's pretty cautious about OEM stuff on ebay, but I only buy from USA sellers with near 100 ratings, and I have never been sorry. On the other hand, my Seidio extended battery pretty much burnt out about 9 months after I got it.

Beware the placebo effect. Also know that people have a tendency to try to justify their choices. Make a bad purchase and you find ways to turn it positive.
Those things can color reviews.

not sure if hgoldner bought the same one, but i bought this one -http://www.ebay.com/itm/200685021437?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
should come in today so i can see over the weekend if its any improbement.
EDIT: these register an error (the exclamation mark over the battery) and do not charge in the phone)
As much as I hated to do it, I found that simply disabling 4G extended my battery life a lot. I figure that 3G is fine for GPS or email, but if I want to download a file or something more intense, I can quickly enable 4G and then disable when I am done.
Not optimal, but it is free and most of the time basic tasks with low amounts of data being transferred don't really benefit from 4G, so why take the battery life hit if you don't have to?
When I want to stream a movie or something, or upload a large picture to FB, or maybe a video to YouTube, then I put 4G on and then it makes a big difference...

[Q] Which replacement battery to buy?

my battery last about 8hrs with barely no use. with average whatsapp and email i'd be lucky to get 3-4hrs. I've already tried every trick listed in the forum to extend batt life. it turns off randomly under heavy use (camera or video playback, games, etc). those things work when its on the charger.
I've decided to replace the battery and my back cover that doesn't seat properly anymore. i wanted to know if anyone have purchased the extend battery; and that back cover looks alot bigger than the original.
is it worth it? amazon.com item # B002MPY4BW
or should i just buy the standard replacement battery? amazon item # B001IF277K
what BST is the battery and what is the v.??

i saw that 3600mAh on ebay for $36. amazon have the 2600mAh for $20. it's listed for x10a. just to verify.. thats the same batt for x10i?
the back cover on ebay looks better. i think i'll get that one if it works on x10i.
thx for ur help
The model # on my battery is the X10a
I personally had the same problem got a new battery and it lasted much longer
Go extended.
If anything it's healthier for the device.
yea... i think that would be best.

Really?
Aren't original batteries a safer choice?

The original battery is too small.
They may have been built in a SE factory but the current rating is too low for the x10's demands.
SE would have solved many problems by just using a larger cell.
The x10 sometimes requests more current that what those poor cells could supply.
Due to a overly hungry GSM 3G radio.

Yes, that makes sense, but is there any sort of guarantee that these no-name batteries use actually larger cells and produce higher rating?
All I'm saying is I am a bit reluctant to trust cheap so-called extended batteries.
i think the original batteries are weak too. don't even have 3G here. at first it lasted a full day with just music, texting and calls. once i added data it dropped more than half.
know whats odd tho.. at home on wifi i get longer battery life. i think it has something to do with this mobile data service.
quick update.. got the new battery.. went with the original so far 21hrs and i'm at 13% batt life. i'm happy rite now. i kno thats gonna go down a bit once my provider remove that blackberry data plan(had to use a BB for 2 weeks) and have my regular data working again.

i'm assuming that's one of the extended ones. did it double the size of your phone?
