Default [Q] 1600mah battery?

UK company BMC Digital claims to have a 1600mah battery for the Desire HD... for just 6.50 UKP. That can't be right, surely?

They also have a 1230mAh battery for 16.95 UKP, which seems more believable.

Sorry that I can't post the links yet, as I'm a new user.

The typical capacity of a battery is one thing but what they print on the label is another thing! I think, it's impossible to improve the original battery 1230 mAh about 370 mAh to 1600 mAh and sell it for less than the half price.

I got 2 of them 1600mAh with a bundle from good old ebay. I've been using them and they last at least as long as the original but not convinced they last much longer....

At least they work! so far

Cheers,

I don't think so, the battery have to be relatively the same size as the original battery, especially when the battery cover is used as antenna too.

So I used the one that was delivered for a couple of days, and let me tell you it is utter 'DOG-EGG' it doesn't last anywhere near as long as the original, but £6.50 for a spare ain't half bad.
