I also found a 2500mAh battery, obviously larger than the stock one. It comes with a replacement cover as well, also larger than the normal one, to accommodate the larger battery. I'm planning to buy it tomorrow, I'll test it and let you know how it works.

as far as ive researched the best battery atm that fits in the original HTC cover is the 1500mAh mugen power..

there are ones like Power Akku that is 1700mAh but arent CE approved or properly tested...

seems to me akku are like a cheap dodgy no name brand which is why i wouldnt recommend it

is it worth the cash for 11% more juice?
Sure, there will be situations where you need to do someting and you curse yourself for not buying another hour of power, but it won't change your charging habits. 33% might, 50% would...

[tho @ £9.95 from blueunplugged.com it wound't hurt to have a bigger one to swap out with]

Just got back home with the new 2500mAh battery. First impression: the device looks bulkier with the larger battery in place and is, obviously, heavier. There is a small advantage here, though, you can stash up to 4 extra microSD's between the area below the battery (sim and microSD slot) and the cover. I'm charging the battery now, I'll stress test it when it reaches 100% and post the results.

The 1700 mAh has about 26% more juice over the 1350 mAh, i won't change my charging habits. But i hope my HD will have juice for a whole day... i'm permanently running Skype in the background an this eating up my battery like mad!

Yesterday evening I turned my HD off and charged the 1700mAh to max.

Turned the phone on again yesterday at midnight.
I've used it alot today by using coreplayer to watch an episode of Sopranos, and like 1 hour of music. Called for like 30 mins. Used MSN for like 3 hours through HSDPA and Opera for about 10 mins. Now, roughly 26hrs later, it's at 70%.

note, I have HSDPA always on.
If you like my work, please consider a donation.

I bought this and used it for a month now, happy with it, performs like my original HTC battery.

Looks almost identical, but 1500mAh instead. Like to have the 1700mAh, but difficult to justify the price difference!

Anyone know of a seller that ships to the US? The above seller only ships to Europe.
