Question [Q] Any one tested G1 1700mah battery?

Old battery is running out of juice. Recently found some 1700mah drea160 g1 battery on ebay. Any one tested them yet?

What happen to the ecell 1500mah battery? couldn't find it anymore.

By the way, I'm looking for a standard battery (fits in original housing), please reply if you have something to share. Thanks

Don't know if its the same battery i bought about half a year ago at ebay germany but i had no luck with it.

It was labeled as 1700 mah battery... now, 7 month later the battery has power for about 6 hours in standby (think about 500mah rest capacity)

Even in the first months the battery had not more power than the original htc 1150mah battery, the standby time was about the same.

I recommend not to buy it... better get one or two cheaper standard capacity batteries

well I just ordered mine off ebay, total came to a lil over 5 bucks.
Im guessing its not gonna pan out, but hopin it'll be at least as good as stock, and if its either of those, im getting my money back and keeping the battery. So tis a win for me no matter what.

I'll do review.

There's a flood of standard capacity battery on ebay that I can't tell which is good and which is bad. I'm just wishing to get one that will last slightly longer than stock or as long as stock. Guess I will have to look around for a bit.

Thanks, hopefully it's not one of those that do great for the first few days and degrade quickly afterward.

This battery works great for me, have had it a few weeks now, has easily doubled my battery life and standby time is crazy it never has come close to dying while on standby.

The one I received is a little different than the one pictured, my backplate has just the camera recessed and not the whole area around it. So the back is even throughout.

ha 2500mah. No wonder the seller did not reply me when I asked if this is truly 1700mah battery. Alright, let me know how it goes. Thanks

Guys,
I found a 1700mah battery on ebay (restriction on new users stops me from providing the link, but it's from Seller austintexwireless ( 18439 sales))
Do you think it's fake at 1.60$?...
I am looking to buy a bigger battery, but I do not want the extended packs with thick back covers, so would prefer one that fits the original slot.
Any advice?
