If you decide to go with the 1350MAH battery please let us know you're thoughts regarding both performance and vendor.

Thank you

I got a 1250mAH battery for my MDA Vario from http://stores.ebay.co.uk/SINO-WORLD about a week ago (search for "Wizard"). They delivered it in about a week. It seems to have around about the same capacity as the original battery.

It came to $24.88 including delivery to the UK but I used a Paypal voucher that reduced this by 10% so it ended up about £13. They gave me this link to the battery manufacturer's WWW site (http://www.cameronsino.net/pda-battery.htm)

found this site the other day, may try the 2500ma one.

Does that battery (the 2500mAh) have the same dimensions and pins as the Wizard battery, though?

[edsub]

it doesnt:
PLEASE NOTE THIS BATTERY INCREASES THE THICKNESS OF THE XDA . REPLACEMENT BACK COVER IS INCLUDED

and...its for the Magician

[sanderjohan]

This one is for the Wizard:

hmm.. almost double the life - might be worth the extra thickness. Now if only the showed some proper pictures of the actual thing in a wizard + new back cover :|

1-AA battery recharger. They didn't post any info on just how much it's able to recharge, but it's enough if you're in a bind and should fit easily in a lot of the pocketpc cases

[meschle]

just ordered the 2200mah one from here
http://www.gpsforless.co.uk/product_details.php?id=2971

will let you know how it is particularly how thick and how long it lasts. only 25 pounds could be a bargain :)

mega beefy and over twice the capacity of the standard - but out of stock.

a second battery in my wallet seems a better bet

[Comit]

Still waiting on some reviews on how the extra thickness and battery life is like :?

[meschle]

Sorry for the delay in pics guys but also wanted to test battery and try with different cases. The battery is bigger than expected but not as big or thick as mugen 2600 mah. the cover seems a bit larger than it should be - it may be possible to trim it but have not tried.
Found that with battery in and leather case on - no battery cover, things not so bad and only slight bulge at back.With cover supplied I wouldn't show my phone in public lol

here are my battery tests

Wizard battery
Standard 1250 Mah
25% loss 2.5 hours browsing
60% loss 5 hours browsing plus some game, radio, omap 240 15 mins

Extended 2200 Mah (75% more Mah)
20% loss over 2.5 hours browsing
40% loss 5 hours browsing plus some game, music, omap 240 15 mins
44% loss 7 hours browsing reconfig ppc
46% loss 8 hours browsing reconfig ppc.
60% loss 9.5 hours browsing (nearly double standard battery)!
80% loss 11.5 hours browsing
90% loss 12 hours browsing
All browsing was continuous and on GPRS.

Fairly impressive I thought for a 25 pounds sterling battery!

here are the pics - taken with my spv c500 so apologize for quality
The case btw is a modified krussell case meant for Magician but works for Wizard.

In short then decided to keep the battery - I wish it was slimmer but no other available extended batteries in the uk I can find and at the price can't comlain

has any one come across a external battery charger for the HTC wizard t-mobile T-Mobile MDA Vario

[Comit]

I'd like to see some Li-poly battery alternatives. Has a higher energy to volume ratio so you could pack more juice into the standard battery size, plus its lighter.

Yes see here http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=127197&partner=froogle

Dont know which country you are from, but expansys are good and are in us too.

[ZeBoxx]

meschle - I think they meant a charger for a spare battery. Kinda like how some of the cradles for other devices have another slot to charge a 2nd battery.

[guyver2077]

ok..

is there a battery that provides extended battery power and remains the same size? there has to be a better one thats the same size then the original stock 1250 one

Unfortunately not so far. I have looked around but there are no shops that sell a higher capacity battery without becoming larger for the wizard.

I use the MDA Vario for myself too and have experimented with the external battery that we sell (http://www.batteryupgrade.com/product_detail.php?productId=62313474) , but I gotta say I prefer using the regular 1250 mAh size battery. Maybe it doesnt provide that extra bit of power, but the Vario is big enough as is.
