...sounds definitely interesting! It seems to be a company in Hong Kong. Are the $46.95 quoted therefore HK Dollar? ;)

Any first-hand experience?

ill wait till i see some real life reviews before i get one of these but it sounds promising!

I have mine on order now. Upgrading to a 1500mah battery made a decent difference in usabillity, hoping for the same difference again in a step up to 1800mah.

Should get two days battery life out of it then between charges

There's a link for this battery, but I can't post it because I'm a new user, just google Mugen.

I'm considering buying this for my T-Mobile/HTC MyTouch 3G Slide, if it's any good. I'd like to find a dock to charge this battery! If anyone finds one, let me know.

Did you get the battery, or is it still on its way?

Edit: Someone on a Dutch forum has this battery and will report in a few days. I will post his findings here!

First review from a Dutch forum (translated from Dutch, so it might be a little iffy):

I've got the Mugen Power Extended Battery for HTC 1800mAh Legend BB00100 a few days now. Enough time (following the instructions) to fully charge and empty the battery a few times. I drained the battery by leaving the phone running Google Maps navigation. Yesterday and today was the first normal use.

Old situation: Before I had this battery, I was happy if the battery could make it through one working day. With light use in the morning, and in the evening with 40-50% left to do some web browsing. If I didn't put it on the charger at night, the next morning it was about 15%, not enough to start the day. Under normal to heavy use I never made it to the end of the day without charging in between.

New situation: With the same kind of usage it's about 70% in the evening. Again some web browsing before bed and no charger. This morning there was still 43%.

Conclusion: I still put it on the charger because I'm still unlikely to make it through an entire day. But what's clear is that I can make it easily through one day even with heavier use, no more charging in between. That makes the purchase worth for me.
Don't expect that you now can navigate for hours without draining your battery because that won't change. That was exactly what I hoped it would cause. Nothing more annoying than a device to with normal to heavy use that won't make it through one day. Striking is that the Battery Graph program (from where I get these measurements) shows that this battery longer stays at 100% and about as steep downhill runs compared to the standard battery.
