Unfortunately it's $60 including postage to the UK so I've not bought. If anyone takes the plunge please report back!

EDIT: If anyone knows of a reliable capacity tester please post.

Cheers

AFAIK this is the only real battery delivering more power in standard size, I'm also thinking of buying it, it's not cheap but there's a lot cheap solution here promising more mAh and delivering less in real

If you run the battery app from the HTC debug tools, does it really appear as 1000mAh there?

Thanx for pointing me to a good tool. Unfortunately HTC debug tool reports
FULL (mAH) - 900. Also notices that main battery ID field is 0.0

As expected then... another fake labeled 1000mAh battery :(

Thanks for checking it.

The seidioonline product linked in post one above is excellent although as is already stated - its expensive!

thanks for testing...have put a warning in thread title

I don't think the software reports the correct mAh size of the battery, I tried it with my 2000mAh battery and it still reports it as 900mAh, so I don't think it can be trusted. And don't say that my battery has a fake label too, it lasts me 4-6 days...

hmm interesting, we need to find a reliable battery tester

[zoltar99]

I wonder if anyone got anything else other than 900 mAh when testing any Diamond battery, maybe someone with a 1340mAh battery might want to give it a try? I have four batteries, I will give them all a try, 1 is the original 900mAh, 2 is a 1000mAh, 3 is a 1800mAh and 4 is a 2000mAh battery. I'll try them all, see if any of them displays a different result.
Edit: tested all 4 batteries, with the same result: 900mAh!!! Which is simply impossible.

Hmmm that's interesting... do you have by any chance a multimeter to measure the current of the battery in the old school way? :)

[ffejeroni]

Any news on this? Mine is performing horribly. Thanks for all the studying!

I'm tempted by this...

Anyone had any experience with it / this lot?

Dont! - I ordered one and received a standard 900mah one. If its too late you will have to complain to Paypal to get a refund..

Cheers mate :)

Guess, I'll have to hunt around for the cheapest official battery - it seems to be the one with the least "extra" on the back

[Srem]

wondering if anyones found a reliable capacity checker yet?

I will try that, although I'm not sure how reliable my multimeter is...

A word of caution here, you can not measure the capacity of the battery by plugging it directly to the multimeter, that would cause a short circuit and probably damage it. You need to have some device in between the circuit that puts a constant load on it over time. Is not trivial I'm afraid... anyway a simple search in Google (ie. "how to measure mAh") should provide more detailed instructions.
