Found these batteries on Amazon. Don't have a increible, but they seem compatable with my Desire S too.

1600mAh - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B005...dir_mdp_mobile

Seem cheap and based on the reviews, they seem to work really well!

See the Sensation 1900mAh - http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/cr/B0053...cr_electronics

^Check out the reviews there! They seem to be very good for the sensation!

These batteries are dirt cheap, and seem to work well for other devices!

Anyone own one of these?

Can you give your reviews?

Cheers

I have the 1600mAh one, I bought a pair on ebay for $16 US back in Oct or so.
I started using it in the Desire Z and it's also compatible with the Incredible S so I put it in there too.

I've only been using my Incredible S on ICS builds / Virtuous Quattro so I can't comment on battery life really so far.. but on my Desire Z I saw a boost to battery life from ~1300mAh stock HTC battery, I got around 20-24 hours. With this, I get around 30+ hours days with medium-light use on CM7-based roms.

With Virtuous roms I got like 10% less battery (due to Sense)

Nice! Thanks for sharing! So you recommend them?

For $8 a battery and +4-6 hours depending on your use, yes I'd say its definitely a steal. You don't have to shell out $30+ US for the extended version.
I have used it great for 3.5 months. It may be cheaper if you can did it on eBay. Anker's eBay name is laptopmate-USA.
These anker batteries seem high quality types, not the junk china stuff that can softbrick phones. I had that experience on my G1.

Edit make sure it is the white anker. I wouldn't trust anyone else other than HTC!

I appreciate your explanation, thanks!

But what do you mean as white ones only?

I was looking to get a black one, as it would suit my Desire S better.

It is this one I have (old pictures, was trying to get ot sold in xda market)
I think all the ankers are white!

PS. I can finally give an opinion on the battery life in the incredible S. I am on second day in virtuous quattro ICS RC2 and currently with 1 day 1 hr with 24% remaining.
Hope that helps!

Many thanks for that mate! I appreciate the pics too!

I might get the battery soon!
