Best Diamond Battery

[HTCzar]

Which battery do you advise for Diamond, besides the 900mAh original one?

How long do your´s 900mAh last?

My standard battery lasts about 3 days with 3G turned off, if I leave it on, it depends on the 3G signal, where I work it will kill the battery in about 8 hours. At home I have good HSDPA signal, it will last for 1.5-2 days.
The 2000MAh battery I bought has so far lasted me about 4 days and is about 45%, with 3G on and manual checking of emails, moderate phone calls and lots of playing with the menu. I recommend it to anyone who is not bothered by the 'hump' it creates on the back of the phone.

depends what u use it for.

i use my standard battery most of the time, as when at work its plugged into my PC, when in the car its in a holder charging and at home its on charge over night.

if i'm away somewhere, then i swap for a lumpy 1800mAh battery, which lasts about a week.

Are you mostly using 3G or Edge?

My standard battery lasts about 3 days with 3G turned off, if I leave it on, it depends on the 3G signal, where I work it will kill the battery in about 8 hours.

it depends by phone usage...
battery consumption is worst in 2g and best in 3g during standby, and is worst in 3g and best in 2g during conversation!
it also depends by radio installed..

Fully charging the battery about 3 hours in the night.....

I listen some music during the day, starting at 8am using Windows Media, almost at 5pm the battery dies if i don't recharge it during the day.

This is using the standard battery, and receiving aprox. 6-10 calls of 4 mins. with the Bluetooth turned on, checking mail using the wireless 1 hour before 5pm.

With standard Diamond 900mAh battery.

I get about 2-3 days use with B/T and WiFi off, about 4 calls x 5 mins each per day, 3G on.

B/T will reduce it by a few hours, so 2 days max.
WiFi will reduce it to max 8 hours - only use when needed.
3G poor signal will reduce it by about 1 day.
Call time uses up battery at ~20x the standby time. So a 2hr confcall is enough to kill it.

That's the experience so far over 6 months.

Well I use the extended battery and with moderate usage the battery lasts for 3 days without problem. GPS Fix is excelent, cover finish is great as well .
