Extra Battery

[qing84]

Where do we buy an extra battery for the HTC TyTN? (or Dopod, O2 Hermes...)

It is really frustrating that HTC doesnt seem to market any of these...

I bought the extra battery from eXpansys. Be advised that this is a slightly different battery than the one that came with your TyTN:

Stock battery: HERM161, 1350 mA
Replacement battery: HERM160, 1300 mA

I can't honestly say if I've seen a difference between the two batteries, but you should be aware of the difference!

A final word to the wise on buying the eXpansys spare:

The text description says it's a 1350 mA battery, but if you zoom in on the picture, you'll see that it's actually a 1300 mA HERM160 battery... and that's what they sent me!

goestoeleven,
I ordered mine a few days ago and it will probably be the same battery. Does it work well on the TyTN and how did you get it charged?

Thanks.

I can only charge one battery at a time (the one inside the phone)...

Hence my rant on the thread about Cradles without extra battery slots...

I got my battery but it has been more than 24 hours and the red light is still on for charging. How long did it take for you? Thanks.

[goestoeleven]

Initially I just charged it for a few hours. It behaved exactly the same as the original stock battery.

It's my second battery and I still cannot get it to charge -- the red light is on for days whether I try AC power or hooked into the PC via USB.

The battery cannot be bad so it must be my HTC TyTN. Any ideas what I need to look at in the battery comparment?

Thanks.

Actually, that picture says HERM161 and 1350mAh...unless I'm going blind

I also am having the same problem. I have been thru 3 batteries. Some crappy poor life knock off from ebay. but also 2 expansys batteries. The expansys batteries just give a red light and dont charge. Any ideas what is wrong?

This red red light no charge business not just with TyTn batteries but several other phones and different battery types. Usually occurs with a problem with feedback from cells in battery to the charging circuit. Most oftgen there is no real fault with either battery or phone. It normally occurs if the battery is allowed to completely discharge. I am not aware of an easy fix, except I have faced the problem myself and with original battery. Also had it with another LG phone. On these occasions I got them to work eventually by several times plugging and unplugging charger lead and also taking battery out of phone for ten minutes then reinserting worked once. All a bit hap hazard but they always worked eventually and once going worked fine after that.

Good luck

Mike
