High capacity (2400 mAh) battery for HTC Artemis

[leo_lsw]

Now there is a 2400 mAh battery. The manufacturer is Chinese and they claim this battery will last 100% longer than the original. Oh and the battery is also 100% bigger than the original so they supply the customised back battery cover.

So to sum on, there is a better battery, at least it looks like it has better battery life, so its your choice to get another or to get this one?

I think I keep the original battery.
This one is way too bulky and I think the Artemis is quite sexy the way it is. :)

Man, that makes the Artemis look ugly.

when you have business trips, you will change opinion.

This is a nice battery.
I am using it :D

I agree with what biou said, go on a longer trip where you have no access to electricity.

I bought a double capacity battery for my Ipaq rx3715 which already has one of the best battery life on the market. With the big battery I managed 40 hours continuous use with minimal settings, 20 with normal and 12 with heavy use like video or 8 with extra heavy use, so video + WLAN + big headphones.

When I watch videos my Artemis lasts about 8-10 hours but when I surf the web power drains so fast! I think it lasts for max. 3-4 hours with WLAN on.

I might buy one of these or I buy an emergency charger wit mini-USB. I still can't decide which one I want to use.

Where and whec is it going to be available? Shipping to eu?

I agree that it is ugly, but going on a hike in wood i would better have this fat one as a spare in case i got lost. Happened to me - first thing u notice when lost in wood is how fast gps battery starts to drain and that brings surge of adrenalin/panic.

I have a similar one to this which I use on my extended trips away from the office which also generate heavy phone use and often using a BT headset.

On the positive side it can last up to 3 times longer than the original battery without charge especially when using BT functions.

On the negative side however with the extended battery in use the PDA does not fit the desktop cradle or my GPS car holder.

In my opinion well worth having for those times away from an AC or car charge.

I want to buy one, but what battery is the best? I don't really trust all the cheap batterypacks on E-bay, do you guys have some experiences with a good battery?

Please help me pick one. Thanks

I bought mine from eBay and have not experienced any problems at all.

My battery is black in colour with white text. 2500mAh 3.7VDC and clearly marked for the DOPOD P800W so should be easy to identify on pics of the eBay listings.

My only word of caution is that the two top (closest to camera) plastic tabs on the battery cover are somewhat exposed and therefore fragile when removing the cover and can snap off from repeated swapping of extended battery back to standard battery.

My first cover tabs broke and I bought a second extended battery just to get a new cover when I snapped the tabs of the extended battery cover. Now I leave the extended battery on all the time.

I can do that because I located a different desktop cradle where I could cut some of the plastic away to accommodate my Artimas with the extended battery fitted. I also have replaced my OEM card holder with a universal style so I no longer have the issues which required me to swap back to the standard battery.

Extended battery is great and IMHO not too bulky despite the initial look in the photos.
