Stronger battery?

[digger_de]

Hi,

are there stronger batteries for the Hermes device available?

Shipped one is about 1350mAh, maybe a third party offers 1900mAh.

[Tony K.]

I have seen a 1500 mAh ones, but I think some 3rd party battery manufacturers are a tad "optimistic" when they state their batteries capacity, so i dont know if they last much longer than the original battery.

There are indeed some compatible and HTC original batteries (same as for HTC Apache) with capacities up to 2800mAh, but there are no compatible battery covers for the Tytn yet, since the batteries need extra room, thus battery compartment extension.

3000mAh soon: http://www.lionbattery.com/description.php?noproduit=473

Boy! Can't wait til they come out with that one!

[mrderby]

WOW They even have a 4800mAh now :eek:

:cool: http://www.lionbattery.com/description.php?noproduit=324


Could you imagine.. This would be a small heavy weapon sorta.. You could throw this and really hurt someone.. Just the weight of the unit with this power pack.. YIKES..

[Lurker0]

4800mAh is for Universal.

Mugen Power Netherlands rep say they are working hard on a same-size-as-original power battery with around 2000 mAh. Waiting for that one. Of course the price needs to be right, not 1/10 of the device´s price.

which one is it? and how would you buy it?

[PPCNUT]

A stronger battery would be great.

I got one of the advertised 1500mah batterys off of ebay today for $20. When it gets here i will do a battery comparison and update you on the resaults.

[frustin]

is it physically the same size as original?

is it physically the same size as original?

i believe the one i bought is the same one as kramer11's but it's about the same size as original. seems slightly thicker but you won't notice the difference.

you probably won't notice the battery life difference either as it is only 150mah difference. i ended up purchasing a 3000mah one and have started using it from today. it makes the device thiker but it's a great stuff that comes with a replacement battery cover. recommended for anyone who wants longer battery life.

I dont understand why the hermes battery is twice the size as the htc wizard and is only 100mah more.
Anyone ?

Can you post some pics regarding how does this battery look on your TyTN? And how is that working out? Would really appreciate some more details .. Also, where did you buy it from?

It's for the 8125/Wizard

Would it work in the 8525 / TYTN?

--sorry some how i missed posting the link, how useful was this post?
:)

[abricko]

I requested that boxwave look into compatibility of the ElectraSpan Extended Battery (which allready works for the 8125/Wizard) for the 8525/TYTN.

The response I received from boxwave was they would look into the request but it depends on requests (demand) received as to how quickly they will develop/offer the new products.

So here is the link to request the extended battery for the 8525:
http://www.boxwave.com/community/request/request_model_103.htm

Fill in your name and email and then a quick note telling them you have the 8525/TYTN and hit submit. If enough of us request this battery they'll probably bump it up on their priority list.

Done. I used one under which I've ordered from them before, so maybe that'll pull a tiny bit more weight than a random e-mail address....

Interesting that they never bothered to tell me, but Boxwave is showing the extended battery on their site now:

Nice capacity (2500 mAh) but it blows away the same leather case they sell that I just got for my Cingular 8525 :( I'll wait for battery technology to get slimmer, thank you very much. In the meantime, I just acquired a second 1350 mAh battery so I can pop it in if needed.

I bought a 3000mah from Mugen Power for my Dopod and despite it make it a bit thicker, the battery last a very very long time! I bought it at www.mugenpowerbatteries.com and think at 65 euro it is great value for money!

Hmmm, 2500mAh for $60USD (~45 Euro) or 3000mAh for ~$85USD (65 Euro). I guess if one believes the 3000 number that's not terribly bad, but it's a good bit more per mAh than the one Boxwave is selling....

Regardless, I can't seem to bring myself to buy a big bulging battery :( Kinda too bad, somehow RIM manages to make the extended battery for the BlackBerry 8700 look good - or at least normal.
