Lightbulb [Batteries 900 & 1800 mAh] My collection...

Hi,

Since the Diamond was born, everyone talks about its energy capacities... which are not so bad after all (and after applying some tweaks), compared to screen resolution, processor speed, size, ... !

Without being a energy paranoļac, in pure mobilty condition, I think I resolved the problem as I use to go out with one or two more batteries in my pocket, in case of

So here is my batteries collection :
- the OEM 900 mAh
- 2 others 900 mAh
- a 1800 mAh Cameron Sino with a special back cover





You will see all pictures in this picasa album


Comparison (size / weight)
  • Diamond with 900 mAh = 12 mm / 104 g
  • Diamond with 1800 mAh and full adpated back cover = 17 mm (+5 mm ~ +30%) / 118 g (+12g ~ +22%)


Note that you could use the 900 mAh battery with the 'big' back cover.

Thumbs up LOL I have all the same batteries

I now have 8 spare 900mh cells and tend to carry 1 extra in my wallet. I also got the usb cradle from the same shop on eBay. I will upload some pics too.

It was all so darn cheap too a few pounds...
HTC Blackstone - now I can truly say an amazing WM device! If we somehow get properly optimised video drivers then even better.

If they were that cheap the batteries won't be legit... Just be careful with them and don't expect a full 900mAH!

Of course if you're certain they are legit, then please post some links/prices!

about 1800mah

1- how many hours of charging to get 100% charge?
2- how many day its stay without charging ? (normal use)
3- does the GPS work ?
4- does the battery get hot in anyway ?

I agree.. reason why I bought Diamond is slim design.. These batteries make it really really ugly. I mean REALLY ))

Have you had any issues with the 900mah batteries not being properly recognised by the phone i.e. it won't show their remaining capacity etc? Reason I ask is that I have tried 2 and they both did this...
