Cool 2430MAH Battery to Increase Usage Time.

If you're like me and use your ChaCha all the time and can't help but notice it's incredibly poor lifetime. I have found a solution for you that does not require you to have a separate PowerBank.

Get this battery from Ebay:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2430MAH-HI...item1e66923a44

And Use My CamDroid 1.5 (Lightweight ROM). Updates available regularly to flash.

Enjoy, I have already tested the 2430MAH Battery from Japan with my ROM and it works like a dream.

Yeah I know, it seemed quite weired to me aswell but then they continue to say on other sites that it's a new type Japanese energy compressing technology??

It sounds out of the mobile world but it worked for me - give it try if you need the extra power. Free Shipping to UK Only.

Negative feedback for this guy relates mainly to these extra capacity batteries and how they are either worse than standard or just 1250 ones with a sticker on them.

Good luck, but I'm not going to be first to try it!

qbert456 i can assure the battery worked for me - if it didn't i would have posted a link saying why not to buy it immediately - but i took my time to test it.

I also checked the negative reviews and none of them are for the ChaCha - there all for different HTC's and I also checked the Positives, the guys sells thousands of products and has received more good feedback for batteries then bad all together.

Don't worry about a few cases that are not even for this phone, it is an amazingly awesome and provides an outburst of battery life.

Have you tried CamDroid 1.5?? I got a PM by someone saying it was not too bad afterall.

Would like to try new ROMs, but I like all the HTC Sense widgets, and this ROM is missing some of my most-used ones

Thx for the battery link. Cheers.

couldn't you benchmark both batteries?

play a video loop on both and check the time it plays?

just to let us see how much improvement is there

this would be helping wouldn't it?

or jsut get circular battery indicator,

it shows, when it has been taken off the wall and what charge it had then./ how much is left.

this would be simply the best method without efforts i assume
