Well just today my G1's battery just burnt out (Stock Version). I've been waiting for something like this to happen, and now I need a replacement battery, any local stores like Best Buy or RadioShack that sell replacemnt ones or Generic brands, & since my phone is covered under warranty could I just get a free replacement from T-Mobile.? Thanks In Advanced -jf

Best bet is Ebay, thats where i got all my extra batteries from because after awhile the OEM batteries start to blow. Just be careful and if its a real cheap battery, make sure you keep an eye on it.

dude i'm expecting the andida to come in any time this week!
it's taken almost 2 weeks, if it doesn't work im gonna crap myself
I just got this one two days ago form amazon and the extra battery life is awesome so far.
"2200mAh Li-Ion Replacement Extended Battery for Google G1, T-Mobile G1, HTC Dream, HTC Dream 100 series"
It adds some size but it's not nearly as bad as I expected.
MY battery also died on me pretty much. How I knew was it was only giving me 10 minutes of talk time then shutting off. But yea my new battery 2300 MaH battery just came in the mail today from Hong Kong bought from ebay and so far so good.. It's really good because they say you get 2-3 days of battery life and for us G1 users, 24 hours of usage is GREAT!. I'll inform you guys how it works
I bought mine from Fry's by some chinese brand lol...
works fine and has yet to fail on me.
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
htcheroblog.com/2010/02/14/mugen-power-1550mah-3200mah-htc-hero-battery-review/
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...

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?

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.
So I've been poking around for stuff to by for my fabulous Rezound and of course looked in the battery isle of my local Amazon.com and came across this nifty combo.
{Oops, newbie can't post a link yet so just do a search on Amazon.com and you can see for yourself...it's easy, really... LOL}
12 reviews and 5 stars and only $19.99 + $4.65 shipping and I'm going to spring for it. Two batteries, a charger, AND a case? What a deal!
Will let the gang know my experience with this buy.

Umm, not to mention that all of the reviews are from this year within like a week period. Pretty sure all of those reviews are fake and from the seller. I wouldn't trust it at all.

I actually just purchased this as well. I'm hopeful for good results, but we'll see. And if it doesn't turn out good, then I'm only out $20. Will post back when I get them.

Update.
Shipping was super fast, received it in two days. Everything is a pretty decent build quality, and the case is nice.
I've been getting a solid 8 hours of use the last couple of days. They take forever to charge, about 6-7 hours. But overall I'm satisfied. I'll be impressed if they perform this way more than a few months.

only 8 hours? So 1/2 to 2/3 the oem battery?

Seriously? 8 hours is about the same I get with the oem. But I use it for that 8 hours straight. I only put my phone down for maybe 3-5 minutes at a time. I'll have to keep track of my screen on time, but I'd guess it's about 80-90% of the total uptime.
So maybe my perspective is a little skewed?
From the Rez Beast
If someone could spend the day with me to show me how and prove the 8 hours of constant use, ill pay them for their time. I just dont see how you guys are getting the battery life. Im on charger after 4 hours of moderate use every day. Im jealous.
I've read so many battery posts on this board and usage times vary so much that it's almost impossible to tell what should be expected. I think that from this post you can determine that these batteries do work (thanks OP for the update!) but your use time is still going to vary by as much as several hours. I could never get 8 hours of heavy use out of my battery as well but I believe the post that he's doing it. So many settings have an impact.
...Sent from my Tab
I've been using these things and they actually work great. For some reason the original battery only goes up to 83% even though its green n the charger and these babies go to 98%. The extended was getting too cumbersome for everyday use.

Well, the batteries arrived very quickly, packaging was quality and so far I have not noticed any difference between these and the stock battery that came with my Rezound.
I am very happy with this quality, low-cost purchase.
I've been using these batteries a little over a month. I'm pretty satisfied they still last about as long as the regular battery
Looking into an extended battery, but I'm not too sure.
In a past experience, there wasn't much of a difference and it also crapped out after a couple months of use.
Can someone please suggest a good quality extended battery and also the advantage or extra usage time i would get with it.
Thanks!
I would suggest the HTC extended battery from Verizon. That would be your best bet.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
I would second that. Especially when they have 50% off at Verizon store. I picked up 2 of the original htc 2750m bat. $25/ea.
25, really? I got mines for $30 at the local Verizon store. Oh, well.
You might wanna look at this thread....

Definitely go for the HTC battery.
I can run my phone at a constant OC of 1.8 GHz on GB or 1.7 GHz on ICS while it's awake (underclocked to 192 while screen is off) and full brightness for a good 30 to 40 hours on a single charge.
You are underclocked with set cpu, or are you using a different software?
I think most people are using CPU Master, Set CPU was having some issues on this phone. It may have been updated, not sure.
I use set cpu because the issues don't occur on ICS roms and the person who made SetCPU goes to my school

around 50 bucks depending on where you get it. Amazon has the HTC OEM Extended for $47.

Keep in mind, the other poster was using underclocking which helps to extend the life of the battery while the screen is off.
Verizon had them for $30, but I'm not sure if they still do. Its worth a shot though.

Yeah I went and bought mine and turned out to be 30 bucks. HAven't gotten it to a full charge yet, but I'm hoping for the best. Also coppied that one gentleman's idea and underclocked when screen is off. Wish me luck!
My Verizon obtined HTC extended battery with cover showed up today. I actually thought it would be larger. It is charging now... Will see how it works out over the next day or two.
Planned on using it when I was on extended trips, but i do find the device a bit easier to hold with the extended battery on, though it is a bit heavier.
Got the battery for $30

Where did you order the extended battery? I talked w/ a chat sales rep and they told me it was 59.99.
I've done this twice now..
Go to the store, get the battery. Rep says it's really $30 because the system says so or at least it says it was $60 originally. The box is labeled $49.99 so tell them the math and you win. I've had to do this with two of them. One rep was a complete ass and I don't care if it was $5 I didn't want to give him money so I just went to another store.
Played with the extended battery all day today. Was pretty good, but found at times the phone felt heavy while using it. Today was a good test because I was out most of the day and had to make a lot of calls (relative passed away today)... so I was away from any power sources and really needed my phone.
However, even with a heavier phone, I had no issues or worries about battery life. When I got home, I still had 79%. In the past with the original battery, without a lot of what I did today, I would typically have 30% left when I got home.
As for ordering it, ... if you are logged into your Verizon account, apparently all you see as a best price at checkout is $49. However, if you log out of your Verizon account, and do the same thing, the battery and cover is $29.
I did the latter and got it for $30 with free shipping. It came in 2 days.
I ended up buying one because I was on a business trip and I accidently left my phone on and with wifi tether running while I was on the plain. Lol, and I was tripping about why my View was saying that phones network was on. So when I landed I headed I noticed I had about 20% left. I went to do a little shopping and ran into a Verizon store. I was going in with the intention of buying a normal battery.
They sales rep shows me the regular and the extended and tells me that the extended is on sale for 25% ($25) and the regular one was at regular price $29? Or 39. Can't remember but I said screw that give me the extended. When I popped it in it had about 45% that 45% lasted me about 16 hours, that was about 2 more hours then a regular one would do for me. Now I use it for my everyday use. I used to have the thunderbolt before the rezound so I was used to a bit of bulk. I did not mind it at all. It is still incredibly light and fits great in my hands, I actually like the feel better then with the regular battery. 100% fully charged on the extended battery I see 30+ hours of higher than moderate use, and 24+ hours with heavy use(4g, screen on for about half that time, wifi tether on, GPS navigation, and many calls, texts, and lots of web surfing, on that 3day trip alone I gulpped up 8gb, thank god for unlimited data ).
My opinion on the extended battery? Get it.

After holding off forever on my launch day evo3d and getting sick of having to charge my phone at work and potentially missing a call from the wife in an emergency I decided to buy an anker battery. Holy cow. My tired nearly 2 year old battery was definitely worn. Before I'd get around 1 hour and 45 mins of screen on before I'd have to charge. I'm currently at 1 hour 12 minutes and have 71 percent left. Earlier today I stressed it and got to 2 hours 46 minutes screen on and was at 51 percent. Definite improvement. When ICS first came to our phones I noticed a big improvement over battery life and I've strived to get that back changing ROMs kernels etc. Finally bit the bullet and got a new battery.
Point is: if you are getting poor battery life and you have over a year old battery get a new one. I don't trust most batteries listed but this anker is good in my book. I will keep this thread updated for a while. Once I upgrade this phone will be my 3 year olds phone for playing bowling and other little things that stimulate his growing mind.
Well. Running latest dastin cm10.1 with buttered toast 16.4 at 1188 max iland xondemand I'm getting around 2 hours 50 minutes screen on. Usually around 30 percent at that point. Trying not to drain this battery completely. Either way, happy as hell with my phone battery life now.
Well my phone isn't over 1 year old but I feel the need to have atleast a second battery as a backup for LOOONG trips etc.
Since I tried the bulky battery packs from some friends and I found them terribly unpractical despite what the internet has to say about them, I would only but a battery that fits the stock case but offers bigger capacity than the one that comes from and it won't be a battery that is so bad quality that it's performance will drop in like one week, so I was considering Anker. My question is, is there any -PROVEN- to be better (capacity and quality wise) than Anker even if you have to forget completely the price? I'd be happy to spend a little more on a larger capacity battery that is good quality as far as it fits the stock casing.

Mugen Power batteries are usually considered the premium solution for cell phones and this one that fits the Evo 3D with the stock cover claims to have a little more capacity than the Anker model. I don't have either so I can't really give you any feedback on that, but for $46 on Amazon I think I'd rather go with the Anker two pack and charger for $30 on Amazon or the EC Technology equivalent for $18 on Amazon and pocket the change.
Edit: Here's a review of the Mugen Power battery by an Evo 3D user.

Thanx, this was exactly what I was thinking. Also since the battery is not tested I don't want to do experiemnts with my money for just 50mAh...
I've recently purchased a MugenPower 1950mAh battery for my Evo 3D. I's supposed to be delivered some day in April. I will post the results of the usage as soon as I get it. One thing must be said, it's not a cheap battery. But I just want to forget battery issues on my Evo and enjoy a whole day playing with it!
I've this on (the anker).
I would say it's quite the same perfomance as the original battery.
I got a pack of two vor 10€. Awesome price in my opinion.

Where did you get it so cheap? Send me PM please.
Also looking for replacement battery, as right now I charge 2-3 times a day on the stock 2 yr old batt.. curious about Mugen Batt, but anker seems tested and proven.. for $30 you get 2 batt with charger at amazon.. Hope the Mugen users out there comment about it before i can order the anker for comparison.
Using Ballistic cases, so bulky batt aint no option..
I've been using the Anker 1900 for a 1 1/2 months and it's excellent. I'm running DU 4.2.2 ROM with Mirage kernel. Speeds are set at 384/1188. The stock battery after 2 years would be darn near dead half way through the day with moderate use. This Anker lasts me the entire day with the same usage. I'm on twitter, web, calls, texting, taking pictures, and game here and there. There's been many nights when I plug it in with 30% or so left. I'll take a look tonight and get times, etc and post back.
I got my Anker yesterday evening. 8 AM this morning, i took my phone off charger and 12 hours later I'm on 48%. I'd say my use is moderate. Wifi is always on, mobile network on, lots of calls and some internet browsing. Pretty good for first charge. Oh, and my CPU is OCed to 1836MHz. Guys at Anker really know what they're doing :thumbup:
14 hours on battery with 3.5 hours screen on and still 28% to go
Don't know if anyone's here been using RavPower. I have heard quite a few times these days. Checked on their amazon store and find that their price is cheaper than Anker, what about the quality?
I just picked up the Anker battery for $17 on Amazon. Although capacity rating isn't much higher than stock I find that it definitely holds a charge longer and the drop off isn't nearly as fast. I'm on stock rom with MiRaGe kernel and a light user so I already get good battery life. But for the occasional trip I found that I can't get through the day on a full charge. So the anker give me some improvement without added bulk of a high capacity battery and for the few times I need it I now use the stock battery as a backup. At this price I would recommend picking one up.
In my opinion Thema Anker battery is Worth every Euro, just because does a way better Job than The Stock htc battery. Maybe it was just because my evo is a Bit old, but i Had to Charge it every 8 hours with Stock Rom which should have one of the best battery life. With my Anker its about 20-24 hours with regular usage
