I hope some of you get a chance to go to Vzw today because it's the last day of the back up battery charger sale... I paid under 30 bucks for this little one... There is a huge one for 80 bucks bit not worth it... The cord plugs into its own space on the device for storage and less mess, and it has a usb for other non micro devices
Size is 1860mah which is about 1 extra battery for us... For the price I got it and will have it for emergency

Thanks for a heads up but you can get better deals on battery packs on Amazon. You can get a lot more mah for not much more at all.
I got it mostly for size also... Every one I see on Amazon is a square brick... This is nice and compact and rounded fits nicely in the pocket

Yeah very true. I guess it's just a trade off on how much battery you want, compared to how big of a brick do you want to carry around lol
mine is about the size of 2 fingers put together, it's not a flat fit in your pocket but it leaves room for other stuff, plus it's 5600 mAh and cost about the same

it's small but it's also relatively slow charging. the bigger ones have a faster charge rate. also it comes with a white cable that you can put whatever head you want on it, but i personally just use a nice black (personal preference for colors) USB cable that is a bit longer so i can just leave the battery in my pocket and still use the phone

Has anyone else noticed that using these is causing the phone to charge at USB speed rather than 5v/1a speed? It's a DNA specific issue, as my other phones charge at full speed...

I gave this to my girlfriend who is always having her battery die when she needs it... I bought a 3200 anker from amazon for like 25 bucks... the anker charges a lot faster but I'm not sure if its from the Kernel/Mod that has the fast charge mod ... honestly I never need to use it unless I decide to go out after work 15+ hours off the charger... I immediately bought the back up thinking I would need it every day but I only use it about every other week

Reporting back. EXCELLENT product. Charges great. On a recent day trip to disney, it completed recharged my phone, my wife's, and son's (DNA/ONE S/NExus 4). Charges 2 devices at once. Seems to be a rapid charger as it charges our devices much faster than the home plugs.

Everything just points to carrying a spare - that way you don't cannibalise anything, and you can either choose to stickytape it to the back of the phone for that extra-bulky feeling you're after, or put it in a bag/other pocket when you're wearing them tight jeans...
Or you could just get one of these:

$17.50 shipped gets you the battery, new cover, and a screen protector. Took about 2 weeks to get here from Singapore, but I love it.
There's tutorial about making such battery. Simply, connect two batteries in parallel: + on +, - on -, and don't connect middle terminals, these are for battery temperature. Stick batteries together and you're done!

Very true.. but the cell is alot fatter..
Wiring up 2 batteries to the same battery cache is problematic..
If i'm correct the x10 reads the amount of mA passed to the phone and uses the "rated amperage as a baseline"
Meaning that your modded battery might never make the bar..
Also battery burns hurt.. ask those poor bastards with psp 1000's that had to cut open the cell casing to hack their psp.
Correct me if i'm wrong.

Okz lol i don't have that much knowledge about battery's but thanx 4 the straight answer.
How much more battery life do you think you could get out of your x10 with your extended battery?
Well most extended batteries they try to double the capacity.
But connecting 2 batteries in parallel will work.. but can go wrong very fast.
if one of the 2 builds up a memory it may lead to severe heat and maybe even the dreaded gas purge "the battery start to leak a gas" followed by a loud pain inducing bang.
Go safe.. buy the battery.
I just don't like the look of the build quality of the last link, but it should give you alot more life.

No - don't connect them because it would double the REPORTED temperature. That means, if batteries are 27°C warm, OS would see it as 54°C.
wait a minute if a remember rightly the type of bettery used in this is a bizarre, from what i read they cant trickle charge. thats why they go from 100 to 91% and then back up if theyre left plugged in

....[Warning: I do not trust BMW!]
additional info:
The battery needs to be charged for 10 hours the first 3 times.... I confirmed this because if I charge it for a couple of hours when I disconnect it, it automatically changes in an instant from 100 to 98%.. but after 10 hours it stays at 100% when disconnected. And also discharge it as most as posible to get a better charge...

Yeah I hope it works. because 2300mah without a different battery cover would be awesome.
Please let us know how this battery works for you. Specifically:
1) Does it require an extended cover or can it be used with the stock cover
2) Can it be charged while in the phone (no boot loops)
3) Does it actually appear to be 2300mAh or is it a lie?
I found this battery too and am really interested, but not exactly trusting of stuff like this on EBay. I'd like to know if it is legit and works well.
Did you already send them feedback? Tell then they will get negative feedback if they do not either refund your money fully or cover the replacement including shipping.

It is supposed to work with original cover it says to be slim, it may say it is 2300mAH and the only way to know if it really is, is trying it out. So I risked my self on buying it since it was cheap. I will let you guys know how it works out.

I used them with my hd2. They did not have anywhere near the claimed capacity, but were better than stock. They weren't available when I bought spare batteries, so I'm using Anker. With ICS I don't use the spare batteries much anyway.
Sent from my HTC View somewhere in LALA land
I've read numerous reports about the Anker displaying inaccurate % after a full charge and such. Guess I'll give it a shot myself and order one. Anything better than the stock battery is preferred.
Sent from my HTC Ruby
Inaccurate % was due the different voltage in batteries. All of ankers batteries out there for our phone are 3.7V and we use a 3.8V. There used to be a very extensive report on anker and another company somewhere in our forums but I can't find it.
Just to be clear there's nothing wrong with using a undervolted battery as long as you aren't undervolting trough setCPU or any other similar program. It will have a negative effect on batter life and phone preformance.

I've always wondered if the Amaze phone hardware charges to 3.8, and may have problems with overcharging the Anker. I have always charged my Ankers via external charger.

O.K. so I shouldn't be charging it in the phone at all? or just not to 100%? because it seems whenever I do charge it to 100% as soon as I take it off it drops to 96% almost instantly... but I usually get 12-14hrs of med-heavy usage... and usually at least 6hrs of extreme usage... so I think it does have capacity... wish I had done a little more research before buying though, would have bought a 3.8V battery...

No, I have actually been charging it in my phone these days. It started when I forgot I had swapped out my OEM battery, and it was fine in the morning. So you can use the phone to charge.
I don't know if there are any 3.8v batteries of this size, except OEM.
EDIT: Mine drops % pretty rapidly after disconnecting the power as well.

[edit] gah darn you hehe =p
ended up getting me to buy it XD
I figure, hmm... if there's ever a time we're(family/friends) not by an outlet for a couple of a days $20 battery would come in handy
which is unusual for this date and time so I wasn't sure. such a borderline impulse buy
This is nice for emergencies. Good buy for $20. Although I don't need it for day-to-day use. By the time I go to ebd and plug my phone in I'm still at 25-35% most of the time.
My thought is, sure you don't need it daily. Maybe for emergencies... but you have to carry it with you everywhere for emergencies, then you need to wait for your phone to charge. I would rather carry a spare battery that is already fully charged.
You can use that to charge other things also, but then again, you have to wait for it to charge. Pretty much everywhere you travel will have an outlet.
But $20... whatever, no use thinking about it too long. My .02 would be carry a already charged spare battery for emergencies.

Got my anker power bank today its similar but a little better looking and bigger 5600 mah instead... Charged same speed as outlet

That looks like a bulky battery to me.
I had bought that it didn't work my rezound standard and extended battery.

I don't see the advantage for this versus the extra battery
I like my bulky battery.
Kmashi 9600 mAh external battery
i got this battery and have been using it for more than a month now
http://www.ebay.com/itm/for-HTC-Ama...US_Rechargeable_Batteries&hash=item4ab8058874
if that link dies you can search ebay for "kmashi 9600"
ive seen prices for the same model vary from $25 to $45 on ebay
its a 9600 mah battery. they also make a 11,200 mah version. kmashi seems to be a chinese company that makes batteries.
its not heavy, its just a little bit bigger than the rezound, and it comes with 10 adapters to charge other devices.
somehow, within 2 weeks, i was able to bend a pin in the micro usb adapter, rendering it useless. so i just charge my phone using the micro usb cable that the rezound came with
im on airplanes a lot and walk around a whole lot (walking around new york, biking, for hours at a time) and i love the battery. if i have my phone plugged into it, and the phone is at 14% or less and im playing GTA III, the phone will yell at me and say that the current from the power source is not enough to charge at the rate its being consumed. other than that, its been great
i dont mean to be rude but how is carrying around two regular devices better than carrying one slightly larger item...it seems kinda redundant to carry a battery to charge another battery, should we also carry a third battery to charge the second battery

I havent heard of that but just placed an order for this one http://shop.brando.com/Power-Jacket-For-Sony-Xperia-Z2-4500mAh_p11226c1599d3.html
Its 4500mah and appears thinner. Heard good things about Brando who have been around for a while.

Just an FYI.* I finally got the battery, touch slow for postage. Took about 3 weeks.
Anyway build quality on first impressions seems good, nice finish.*
Doesn’t have a strong click but nevertheless does connect the phone nice and secure.
I got the cover without a front flip section.
I used to have a galaxy so this phone is heavier by comparison but I’m used to the extra weight now however have to admit, this does make it a fair bit heavier.
Button on the case for charging is easy to use.
My drawback is the website clearly says data support is available but when I checked with the seller, they confirmed this isn’t the case and will be amending the website shortly.
If you can get passed the weight issue and increased bulkiness its overall pretty good just without data sync

I have tested the battery, over all I concur that it is built well for the price (I got it for ~$20). However there are a few issues:
- The real battery capacity is approximately 75-80% of the Z2's battery. It charges the Z2 to about 80% total from full to empty so the capacity is more like 2600 mAh.
- The input and output currents are lower than what the Z2 can charge. It can charge at 0.8A and discharge at 1A which is not terrible but does take significantly more time (50% longer) compared to charging the Z2 normally.
I'm happy with the purchase due to the convenience of being able to charge the phone untethered whenever I want to prolong the built-in battery life. Usually I snap the battery in when I need to charge and take it off to charge it separately afterwards.
thx for the answers.
that seems logical you cant charge a 3000mAh battery with another 3000mAh to 100%, you will lose something inbetween.
Lucky i don't really use my phone much, so i get 3-4 days with low usage and the normal battery ^^
I'm extremely happy with my purchase price. I complained because their site clearly says data sync supported but it's not. They offered 30%. I advised still nothappy because site misleading so they gave me full refund and let me keep the product so for free it's fantastic lol.

Hello, what about charging this case?
On brando.com ist that you must charge case and phone separately.
On some Chinese pages is that you can charge case connected to phone - phone will be charge first and than case.
Got the 4500mAh version now, why? Because it's supposed to charge the device at 1A

Edit: Did a short review, you can read it here
in short:
It charges the phone from 5% to 93%.
Takes about 3hours 30 minutes

The case has a button so whilst your phone may always be connected it doesnt mean its using the case power so it never charges both at the same time. When you connect the charge cable to the case it will charge the case if its turned on or charge the phone when the case is turned off
