Any news on extended life batteries?

[michalopoulosgk]

It has been now more than a month since Kaiser came out and then AT&T Tilt etc. and so far there has not been a single credible announcement for an extended battery for Kaiser. Does anybody know if there is one out there?

[FlyEvolution]

I found a 1600mah battery here (http://cgi.ebay.com/1600mAh-BATTERY-to-HTC-TyTN-II-P4550-Kaiser-100-110-120_W0QQitemZ190167409319QQihZ009QQcategoryZ130787 QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) that is supposedly the same size as the OEM 1350mah one.
Posted about it in the Main Kaiser forum.

The specs all match up with OEM Kaiser battery..
3.7V, for Device Part # KAIS160...

[scottwilkins]

These folks: http://www.seidio.com/ are supposed to be working on one.

[michalopoulosgk]

Searching, I saw this ad this evening:
http://www.thepocketsolution.com/PSI-42624.html
There is no description of it however and they have a long text to go with it which they have for all their batteries...it does sound interesting though.

Yes, Seidio plans to release the OEM sized extended battery for Kaiser/Tilt early next week.

What is the capacity of the battery going to be? Is it going to need a new cover in the back? Will the keyboard lay flat on a table after the new cover (assume it will need one) goes on?

OEM sized means that it's the same size as the original so they fit under the stock battery cover. My guess would be around 1500mah - their other OEM sized batteries appear to be about 10% high capacity than the originals...

[evolution_theory]

I bought an extended battery for my 8525. The extended cover is NOT worth the extended battery life IMO. It made the phone a small brick.

It was ugly, heavy, ruined the design, and kinf of cheap. I would recommend going as high as possible while still retaining the current battery backing.

did the extended battery door break your case? i mean did it not if in whatever case you were using after you added the new battery door? i cant tell exactly how much it adds to the device.

if u look at the picture, it is a Hermes / TYTN at the back, not a Kaiser /TYTN II !!!

btw, if the original 1350mAh = 3.7V, shouldnt the 1600mAh = more than 3.7V ?

[Qlphn]

btw, if the original 1350mAh = 3.7V, shouldnt the 1600mAh = more than 3.7V ?

No, absolutly not. Voltage of battery is technology depended, not capacity depended. Morever, it could be risky to device running on voltage higher than designed - and, last but not least - it could cause higher power consumption.

[NFRCER]

Has anyone tried the batteries yet? if so, please can you guys post the results?

that is so ugly though haha. good find nonetheless.

[Bronx31]

????????????

[mutabor]

that is so ugly though haha. good find nonetheless.

The phone on the photos with the replacement cover does look ugly indeed :)

[michalopoulosgk]

Regardless of how ugly it looks it could be useful for many circumstances. I keep my phone on charger most of the time during the day in the office so that the battery does not run out by midafternoon. It would be useful to have this when traveling with no easy access to a socket to charge.
My only concern is that the cover does not seem to have a special spot for the gps, like Kaiser's cover normally does. Is this something specific to this cover? Would it interfere with gps?

[captainsensible2002]

Probably wouldn't interfere with internal GPS signal, though you do lose the ability to attach an external GPS antenna - never had the need myself though.

[cproaudio]

The battery door looks cheap. If they redesign the door to look more OEM it'd be perfect. 2700mah? I'll wait for the 3200mah. I wish they make a ultra extended battery at 5200mah. I dont mind the thickness. The GPS with google map is a serious battery hog. 1 hour of google map with gps and 3g gobble up 20+% of standard battery life. 2700mah wont last half of day.

[drb123]

I was just planning on replacing my 1350 mAh battery with the 1600 mAh offered at batteryupgrade.com, and I see that they list the battery model number as 35H00088-00M.
In my AT&T Tilt, the Samsung battery reads 35H00086-00M. Do you think this is presents a problem? The Tilt is vertually the same as the Kaiser, from what I've read.
What is the difference between 088 and 086 ???

I think you guys want to check this out:

[michalopoulosgk]

I ordered this 2700 mAh battery, from another source, waiting to come. In the meantime I received the 1600 mAh battery, set it on the phone tried it for a couple of hours, it fits and works well, no glitches. I will test it whole day tomorrow see if it does noticeably better than the 1250 OEM standard.

[Jozer99]

First reports on the 1600mAh are coming in, and it seems to actually have the 20% performance gain. However, there is no data about how they age, or if they are going to explode, etc...

They have a complete description and they do supply a modified cover.

I have tested it for 24 hours, and indeed it provides extra support. No problems to report so far. I believe that all batteries may have long term problems and the performance is unpredictable, given how young this phone is.

Found a 2700 on ebay ... ( about 1/2 price compared to what's out there ...averaging $50 - $60 )

it's difficult to say, but it seems that you can get that 15-20% extra...

[ehaley01]

Call me crazy, but it seems to me that there is quite a bit of risk involved in going after that additional 20%. If a battery explodes or damages the phone in any other way, I stand a good chance of losing my data, or worse, my phone. I'd love to have additional battery life, but I would rather buy an additional HTC battery to use when my original battery runs dry. But that's just my two cents. :D

You dont really have any real warranty that your original battery isnt goint to explode!, in fact, we al have seen several articles about famous phone/laptop brands with problems about their ORIGINAL batteries... firing, exploding... and YES, they will change you it, but if it has already happen.... I dont think they will change your ear...

The fact is that it doesnt seem to be so easy for a battery to explode, a faulty manufacturing or something like that is the reason, but I've not seen anybody in the internet-forums about a battery bought in ebay/compatible vendor that exploded...

[ehaley01]

Sure, ANY battery has a risk of exploding, but try asking HTC to replace your phone that was destroyed by an exploding aftermarket battery. Better yet, try getting the eBay seller who sold you an exploding battery to replace your phone.

I'm all about extended battery life and inexpensive products, but at what cost?? Is the risk worth the reward? To me, it isn't worth it, but it's clear that for others, it is. Otherwise there wouldn't be such a large market out there for aftermarket batteries.

I would.t waste my time and money going from 1350mah to 1600mah...it's better than nothing though.
Now at twice the capacity 2700mah seems worth looking into. How's that cover look and feel are the only questions I have

[michalopoulosgk]

I have been using the extended 2700 mAh battery (from gpsforless) for two weeks now. I can go through a day with no recharging, with MS Exchange Push email and bluetooth continuously on, and on HSPDA. An extended battery of that type and the one described above gives the phone its full potential. The back does protrude beyond the regular size. It does fit however in the original case supplied for Kaiser by HTC. I prefer to use it though with the Seidio holster. It is face-in, and the protruding back does not cause any problems.

Thanks Michalopoulosgk, I was searching the forums for a post on the gpsforless 2700 mAH battery, I am about to buy one for the same reasons, just a few queries, how long does it take to charge, and does it do longer hours on standby and talk times too? Would you rank having 2700 mAH as good as having twice the regular battery capacity in real world usage terms?

[Maggy]

I've bought a i-UP5400, http://www.u2o.eu/UpLoadFlash/i-UP5400.swf

It does charge other devices but on my Himalaya it does worse than nothing, it's even able to drain my battery in 1 hour. I've written an email to u2o support today, will keep you informed.

Just got my new "1650" mAh bettery from e-bay. It cost me just under $15. So far so good fit fine, runs my Tilt fine. I'll charge it tonight and see where it stands at the end of the day tomorrow.

It I just get about what my OEM battery does (give or take) I'll be more than happy for what I paid. If I get more out of it than my OEM I'll be very happy!

[meanvulcan]

Seidio have released the 1600mAh battery, same size as OEM. I know there are similar batteries on ebay, but I don't trust them. I bought a 1400 battery on eBay for my 8525 and it had problems (size not quite right, turned out to be 1350, heated more, didn't work in my external charger).

Seidio is a reputable company, so I'll probably buy that one. For a phone as large and heavy as the Kaiser, no bulky extended batteries for me, thank you very much :)

Question for those in the know: the OEM battery has a metal shield. Does Seidio 1600 have that? If not, does it intefere with any of the radios (GSM, 3G, GPS)? Are there any experiences with this battery? Thanks.

[Crazysamz]

I've got one of the 1600 mAH batteries, and I see a little bit of improvement. I also bought a standard backup battery for when I run out of juice on one and need another.

Has anyone had their battery explode?
I'm very fearful of these shady ebay batteries since many of them claim to have ISO and CE certification when they might have just simply printed these logos on their packaging.

The biggest question is: are these safe to use? I certainly would not want it expolding in my pants!

I got My 3000 mAh Mugen battery today. The cover is smooth over the entire surface in the back, and though overall the phone is now thicker (about 3 mm more), there is no separate compartment sticking out. The whole back cover is uniform and smooth, without the standard rubberized feeling of the HTC cover. This smooth surface makes it easy to slide and fit into cases that otherwise would have been very tight. Because there is no battery compartment sticking out, there is no wobble anymore when I put the phone on the table to type something with the screen tilted. Overall the battery itself is thinner by 3 mm than the other batteries of 2700-2800 mAh (I have one of those already). So far, so good.

I got it on Christmas eve so I have only tried it for less than 24 hours. I have it on Microsoft Push email and Bluetooth non-stop, to see how long it lasts. My 2700 mAh battery would barely make it through the day under those conditions. I will give it a few days and post my experiences.

I have used the 3000 mAh Mugen battery now for 3 days. It last about 10% longer than the 2700 mAh I had from another source. The difference is not always noticeable, depends on the intensity of use. I do given a preference edge to the Mugen because of the rounded contours of the cover and the lack of bulge in the back. The only problem I have with it is that the Seidio holster (which I really liked) does not hold the phone firmly anymore, because the top of the phone is now thicker (since the expanded battery cover for the Mugen goes all the way to the top). Since the back of the phone is now glossy smooth instead of the original rubberized coating, the phone slips easier into reasonably oversize standard cases and I found an old one I am currently using.

I have used the 3000 mAh Mugen battery now for 3 days. It last about 10% longer than the 2700 mAh I had from another source. The difference is not always noticeable, depends on the intensity of use. I do given a preference edge to the Mugen because of the rounded contours of the cover and the lack of bulge in the back. The only problem I have with it is that the Seidio holster (which I really liked) does not hold the phone firmly anymore, because the top of the phone is now thicker (since the expanded battery cover for the Mugen goes all the way to the top). Since the back of the phone is now glossy smooth instead of the original rubberized coating, the phone slips easier into reasonably oversize standard cases and I found an old one I am currently using.

It lasts about twice as long. I think any of the extended batteries are worth it.

[michalopoulosgk]

It does not appear to cause any interference.

[pepeto2001]

has the camera hole any crystal/plastic?, or is it a simply hole, leaving the lens to be scratched easily?

Which is the new thickness?

Thanks!

Has anyone had their battery explode?
I'm very fearful of these shady ebay batteries since many of them claim to have ISO and CE certification when they might have just simply printed these logos on their packaging.

The biggest question is: are these safe to use? I certainly would not want it expolding in my pants!

All Lithium batteries have an overcharge protection. They won't work without them (or your battery would explode the second you fully charge it).
The problem is usually undercharge protection. Since you only will damage your battery with it, you'll notice (a lot) lesser capacity after a few complete discharges. Though, the only batyteries I have seen without protection are for building high powered model cars a.o. and are only for sale to those who know where to look (and know what they are doing).

Lithium poltmer batteries (like the one of the Kaiser) will probably grow in size before they explode (if ever). That way you probably notice there is something wrong and stop charging and remove the battery.

Nice li-po explosions: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3o_2mwRPdw

Just tested it, it is only a hole. The OEM cover from HTC does have a clear plastic cover. Good point!

[si11ym3]

hey michalopoulosgk, i just got the same battery off ebay. So far so good, do you happen to know a cradle that will be able to fit this phone now due to the size?

... Mugen because of the rounded contours of the cover and the lack of bulge in the back. The only problem I have with it is that the Seidio holster (which I really liked) does not hold the phone firmly anymore, because the top of the phone is now thicker ...

Strongly considering one of these. I'd be interested in seeing a side-by-side picture of the Mugen next to one of the bulge ones. I'm guessing it actually looks smaller.

Do you think the new Seidio holster designed to work with their new slim case might have the bit of extra size that might better fit.

Does it appear that the space between the top of the battery and the upper part of the cover is hollow? Perhaps could be used for SD card storage?

That battery says:-
HTC TyTN II (does not include a GPS opening)

will that effect GPS ?

[Faxman]

I believe that it will only cover the plug for an external antenna...which I don't believe may people use.

Has anyone purchased one of these

http://www.infinitybatteries.com/p-4733-att-8925-tilt-pda-extended-battery-1600mah-li-ion-polymer.aspx

from these guys?

How does the size compare to the O.E.M. HTC battery? Is it thicker, thinner, or the same size?

Does it come with a replacement battery cover for the back of the phone? I wouldn't think that it would because it's only a 1600mah battery, but it looks like there is one in the photo...

How was your experience with this company?

So I just got off the phone with Kirt (sp?) from this company & I got some answers...

Their 1600 mah extended battery is the same thickness as the O.E.M. Tilt / Kaiser / Tytn II battery. Therefore,

It does not include a replacement battery cover for the back of the phone, despite the fact that there is one pictured with this battery on their website.

Kirt was pretty helpful, very willing to answer every one of my questions. :)

They ship directly from Hong Kong & he estimated 8 days for delivery, although he did say that California may get it sooner than that.

I'll let you guys know if I decide to purchase it.

[tgerbracht]

Any chance the new Seidio case will fit with the 3000 battery?

A few pics with the Mugen cover on.

Looks really nice. Sounds like a winner.

Where exactly is the link to find and purchase this battery at?

Also, are you noticing, or has anyone noticed issues with the meter reading correctly? Does this report correct battery percentage?

Thanks for the help.
