Anybody have experience with the 1800mah Mugen Power battery? Are they any good? they are the same size as the regular one and fit the stock back cover.

The general consensus in other threads where this was already discussed is that it is a good battery. You might try searching for these threads to see some discussion ;)

I have one on the way. Hopefully I get a few extra hours a day out of it. It would be nice to not be panic charging throughout the day.

How long have you been running it 06? So my birthday present is maybe a dud then...

About a week. I've tested lots of batteries and this one is far from impressive. For $45 i feel ripped off

I've been using the Mugen 1800 for a couple of months now; I find it does last several hours longer than the stock battery. I am certainly not a heavy user of the phone but I do a lot of reading on it and a lot of google searches. I normally get ~30 - 35 hours between charges. I usually charge over night and then turn the phone off for a bump charge in the morning...works well for me. I especially like that the battery is the same size as the original and does not require a different back.

been using this for about a month now, on my days off when I turned off the 3G it can easily last for 60~hr on wifi with minimal usage, only a few voice calls, sms/mms, and browsing. But when I have 3G on, using BT and GPS navigator for two hours, I can get about 10hr before i need charging again.

For an accurate account of my battery usage I guess I could say I get about 8 hours out of it with moderate to heavy usage through the day. With the stock battery I'd average about 10 to 12 hours or so. Heaviest battery use is of course screen and everything else I've checked as very normal (<5%).

I'll give it another week then send it back. Every aftermarket battery I've purchased has been bullcrap. The best batteries I've tried are genuine OEM HTC batteries.

The stock Incredible 1 battery is a 1300mah and I purchased a genuine OEM HTC Touch Pro 2 battery at 1500mah for $15. HUGE improvement. Made my $45 Seidio look like a 1000mah. If I could find a comparable HTC battery with a higher capacity I'd gladly pay the same price as the Mugen for it.

I used the HTC branded EVO4G/Touch Pro2 in my original DInc too, and loved it; I tried it in the DInc2 for a couple of weeks without problems other than the back cover not quite closing completely. I still had good signal strength but it bugged me that the back cover wasn't quite right so I tried the Mugen and have been using it since.

I bump charged three times this morning while the phone was off. Haven't touched the phone until now and i'm at 77%. 2 hrs and 20 minutes and I'm down 23%.
