Best extended battery 2200mAh

[happyguy82]

Hey guys, is this real?

http://www.easydevices.co.uk/products.asp?partno=BATCRUISEEXTD&model=

If it is, this would be the largest capacity battery I've ever seen for the Diamond.

[pedmond]

I wrote to those guys and they even answered but they weren't specific neither about dimensions (how much it will increase the thickness) nor about the new back (if it looks like the Diamond one).

[zyborg]

On the webpage it says "BATCRUISEEXTD". It also say (below the picture) "2x the thickness of original battery + new back cover supplied", so in theory this should be okay. I still wonder, though, whether the 2400 mAh is really true and whether if this isn't really an extended battery for the other HTC devices? The same type of extended life battery is sold for almost every HTC device on the site.

There must be someone using this forum that has actually bought one of these babies, right?

I've written them as well about dimensions and other specs - hopefully if we spam them enough they will provide us with accurate information about the product.;)

[happyguy82]

you're probably right..gr they are confused or their supplier is.

[zyborg]

Hehe, yeah, that was the case. Here's the reply:

Hi Jon,

That was the information I was told, we have had further discussions with the manufacturer and they have now confirmed it as an 1800 mAh capacity battery as listed now on the website.

Best regards

[happyguy82]

wow,180mAh is still alot better than the official 1350 one but I'll be interested to know how long it takes to charge fully. mind letting us know when you get it?

Ah, so I guess its the same that Clove is to offer

[s1rl4ncel0t]

So, there are 2 questions:

Will the new back cover look the same as the original one?

How thick will the phone be with the new battery and new back cover?

And a 3rd one: how does this influence the camera? Since the "window" will be futher away from the lens...



HastaSSSS

[zyborg]

Very good questions. I've sent the dealer an e-mail and will post the answer here when I get it. ;)

Ok, but what about the new cover? Will be similar to the original one?

I think i would get the original batt instead..
imagine having to lug around an extra batt cover as well as the batt..

What do you mean "extra" batt cover? It *replaces* the original cover.
And it adds about 20g anyway, so I wouldnt call this "lugging".
IMO it pretty much a must have, considering that with standard one you pretty much can do nothing with device, or you must stay near the power outlet.
Also the cover with extended battery is flat (at least with Clove one), making device less wobbly on the table.

[zyborg]

I agree TOTALLY. I'm buying this. Maybe we should be ahead to do a bulk buy of 20 units or so? :D

Any chance to see a picture on the back cover?

I bought a large cap battery for my prophet, but it
didnt look so good. Hardly ever use it.

[blade80]

Is there no one that works on a phoneshop or knows one that works there that can take some pictures and measures?
Someone must have bought this battery?! Or at least have seen it.

its not in the shops yet, ppl have put pre-orders in and will be posting pics (maybe on another thread) once they get the product...

[zyborg]

I'm most concerned about camera operation when you have a back cover that is at least half as deep as the stock one. How, I wonder, will the camera lens cope with that distance to the lens opening?

[blade80]

Probably the lens won't be at any other distance than the original one, thats what I think. My guess is 2 to 3 mm MAX in thickness difference from the original so the lenscover can easily be made a little deeper.

Thats why I want to have a high res. picture of the back and propbably everyone else too. I hope the back is nice enough to match the phone. Its amazing that the back doesn't show in the product picture. The picture that comes with the product isn't worth anything, it doesn't say anything of value to the customer.

[zyborg]

Has anyone bought this puppy?

[happyguy82]

I bought the 1800mAh one from www.gpsforless.com my Diamond My now weighs the same as the touch cruise but remember it's now 1800 compared to 1350 on the cruise and the Diamond is so much more capable.

battery now lasts me a day with heavy usage.

Cheers.

[zyborg]

Errr... Do you have a better link for the place you bought this battery from.. The links points to some spooky site...:confused:

[UPDATED] Never mind, found it myself: The correct link is: www.gpsforless.co.uk.

[happyguy82]

ohh it's www.gpsforless.co.uk not .com

it's the 1800mAh lipo battery with new rear cover and desktop charger and adapter. all for only around £20. A very good deal if you ask me.

Cheers.

[zyborg]

That back cover looks a bit freakish. Does it look exactly the same as the original, only thicker?

ohh it's www.gpsforless.co.uk not .com

[happyguy82]

No only the middle section where the battery's thickness protrudes is thicker. The cover is quite ugly.

Also, the cover doesn't have the protective screen over the camera opening so you'll have dust dropping inside onto the actual camera screen :( I just taped mine up so I can't and don't use the camera but at least it protects the screen.

The battery life is quite impressive. I used to have to recharge my Diamond 2 - 3 times a day but now only once a night.

Also, you might find that charging the battery directly with the desktop cradle will feed it with more charge as compared to charging it in your Diamond.

All in all it's worth the sacrifices considering the battery life is impressive. Remember this is a lipo cell, not li-ion :)

Cheers :)

[Thymos]

I bought the 1800mAh one from www.gpsforless.com (http://www.gpsforless.com) my Diamond

Could you provide a photo from the side and back please?

[happyguy82]

Heya,

I'm really sorry mate, love to help but that's very inconvenient for me at this juncture coz I've got a few problems that I'm dealing with at home. I'll try to do that for you early next week if that's ok.


Cheers.

[viriatto]

I have bought two batteries in ebay,DIAMOND P3700 EXTENDED 1800mAh BATTERY...Lucky batteries were full charged when I received, and my diamond work...but With this battery, the integrated GPS of the diamond don't work.My Diamond can not detected the exterenal battery status and got the message "main battery:unknown"
I'm currently researching a way to charge the batteries but it is impossible whit the diamond or battery charger. I use last Dutty rom with 1.00.25.05 radio...some advise?

[happyguy82]

I don't think the battery impedes the performance of the GPS. I got my GPS working again with this battery. The GPS always takes a long time to get working again after the battery is removed.

[bobo75]

i just bought the battery from the top of this page.. it fits perfectly on my O2 DIAMOND..BUT!!!! the cover doesnt match!!!
the cover is the one from the original HTC DIAMOND.. so it doesnt fit to the O2, T-Mobile and to all the other ones!!
Well.. I have a new battery now.... but no cover.. :D

so do yourself a favour and wait until a new battery FOR YOUR PHONE is on the market!

all the DIAMONDS out there are different in shape and different in little thinks to hold the backcover!!

good luck!

[viriatto]

The main problem with the battery is the message "main battery:unknown" I never know the level of charge in batteries.
And Yes, you are right.We must wait until other battery appear...but I am impatient.

[just_a_guy]

Hey guys, is this real?

http://www.easydevices.co.uk/products.asp?partno=BATCRUISEEXTD&model=

If it is, this would be the largest capacity battery I've ever seen for the Diamond.

The largest should be at 2800mAh

[blacriderv]

41.90 x 40.50 x 9.90mm => 9.90 mm ???
Wow LOL

[NoBody20013]

and:

Refund Policy: 30-Day Moneyback Guaranteed

:D

who will try it? :cool:

[just_a_guy]

41.90 x 40.50 x 9.90mm => 9.90 mm ???
Wow LOL

haha...i believe it's the same size as most of the 1800mAh battery

[Htc86]

What about that chunky piece of battery?

http://www.expansys.de/p.aspx?i=171883

I didn't see it been mentioned before...guys, what do you think? Isn't exactly the replaceable battery, but it should give you aprox. 3 full charges...Does anyone know more about this product?

[dazza9075]

your not the first person to mention this extended battery issue 1800mah+, and one of the threads that brought it up mentioned the name of the battery and since then its been pulled off the manufactures website. I cant remember the link just now but im pretty sure someone phoned them and they said that they where aware of an issue with GPS not working afterwards, the thought being on the forum that the thickness of the battery may well be interfearing with it enough to stop it working

[kokkie]

Here some Photo's :

[kokkie]

GPS works fine. En yes I should really quit smoking :D

I saw it just now and it's 1800mAh, not 2200mAh anymore?

[Radeon123]

Thanks for the pics, doesn't looks to bad actually, may pick one up.

Considering the battery is quite high and once the new back cover is on there is a large chunk of space left going down the phone, perhaps some could fill that space by making a battery like the on in the picture but also extends downwards over the sim, may make the Diamond a little heavy but it would be one hell of a battery :eek:

If that was possible, it may be a 3000-3300ma battery, that should last a while :D

[kokkie]

I like the weight now.
Its still smaller then my Tytn2.
Continue WiFi and MFE is no problem any more.
Its missing a lenscover so better pics then with the original backcover :)

[divided]

Wooh..

[liamhere]

[jakontil]

[GPSSlovakia]

There is probably gonna be a new 2400 mAh battery for Diamond...
