Default Standard size 1100mAh extended battery (Warning!)

Hi,

I've just found this one on Ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ECELL-HIGH-CAP...ayphotohosting
DO NOT BUY! LINK PRESERVED AS HISTORY

More than 20% bonus capacity in standard fit... Looks interesting (too cheap?).

Has someone already bought any battery from this seller?
Or anobody has exprience with this kind of unofficial battery?

Thanks for contribution.

Alex.


UPDATE: AT THIS TIME, ALMOST NOONE HAS RECEIVED ANY EXTENDED BATTERY FROM THIS SELLER (INCLUDING ME) SO BEWARE!
DON'T PURCHASE FROM THIS LIAR SELLER!

UPDATE: THEY ARE NOT SELLING 1100MAH BATTERIES BUT DOUBTLY 1000MAH WHICH ARE PROBABLY 900MAH, OR EVEN *IF LUCKY* REBADGED ORIGINAL HTC ONES


I also bought a car charger "for HTC Touch Diamond" with a standard mini-USB plug -> INCOMPATIBLE
And also badly designed screen protectors which don't cover the whole screen.

I feel mad!

And I feel also so sorry to have put so many people in this trap I felt in too.
Please accept my apologies.

NOTICE TO PEOPLE WHO'VE BOUGHT FROM THEM: DON'T HESITATE TO CLAIM VIA PAYPAL A FULL REFUND, YOU WILL BE INDEED REFUNDED, THEY ADMIT THEY DO BAD BUSINESS.

I pose the same question here... can the Touch Diamond and Sprint Touch Diamond use the same batteries such as this, or are they different?

I've asked the seller ans this was the answer:
Quote:
Regarding your inquiry, Our batteries are safe to use, identical in size & shape to the original manufacturer's batteries and far better value so this will definitely fit in the standard casing of the HTC Touch Diamond. Hope this helps. Kind Regards.
Kind of generic...

Thanks herbaliser54, I hope to read you shortly!
I'm ordering one too.

Default x

Cant wait for some real life tests because personaly I would be afraid that they just put different sticker on 900 or 1000mAh battery..

This is the purpose of this thread! Go buy one (and a translator ) and tell us!
Or gently wait for kind members to report their experience
