Batteries! The Good, The Bad, The Ugly. Discussions!

[ToyTank]

Good Day.

I would like to make a list of different battery sellers/brands and your experience with them, then compile the information into the OP for easy viewing. I am doing this because I have had 2 bad experiences buying batteries on ebay from high rated sellers. It can also be difficult to determine what htc models have interchangeable batteries.

Known HTC Models with interchangeable batteries
CDMA TP2 ERIS OZONE HERO EVO IMAGIO SNAP DESIRE INCREDIBLE(DUH)

HTC Models non compatible batteries
N1 G1 FUZE OTHERS


Props(and ALL CREDIT) To Doug Simmons for his work testing batteries and making the results public domain. We need more people like you!

Please check out http://batteryboss.org

Mr. Simmons's VERY scientific testing of multiple batteries and brands show consistently overstated mah on many brands of batteries. Please see second post or above website.

XDA Member Jermaine151 has a thread about his experience with the OEM 2150 getting 3 days of runtime I think has great photo's and info.

XDA Member DrPheta has some good information for identifying FAKE OEM BATTERIES.

LEGIT HTC OEM 1500
Model#RHOD160
Part #35H00123-XXM(00M-11M)

I have had nothing but trouble with no name batteries, and I have not seen one capacity test to support getting more than 1500mah from this form factor. even the 1500 makes it more difficult to close back cover. I'd be curious to know what the battery weighs.

I bought HTC 1500 from amazon marketplace for $9..Amazon has me fully covered. Could not be happier.

I Got the seido 1750mah, very high quality. was a little afraid to go with a no name company.

I got the Seidio 3500, even if it's only 80-90% of the advertised, it's still the highest actual mAh on the market and I can get a full day with Wi-Fi tethering, GPS, and downloading and flashing the latest CyanogenMod nightly over Verizon 3G (DROID Incredible).

+1. I have the Seidio 3500mAh and it is a hoss! I have no problem getting through an entire day with heavy use. It doesn't detract from the looks of my Incredible either. In fact, the included battery door makes it fit in my hand better and protects the camera lens.

I get better performance out of my HTC 1500 then my Seidio 1750. The HTC is thicker and heavier then the Seidio. I paid $17.99 shipped for the HTC and something like $40.00 for the Seidio.

I just purchased an HTC 2150 which included an OEM backing for $39.99. Couldn't be happier with it.

I think with what I've learned, going OEM is the only way.

 

[ncwildcat]

I agree. The seidio 1750 is crap

I'm really liking the HTC 1500 battery (same one that comes with the evo). Right now I'm sitting at 15% remaining after 13 hours 20 minutes of uptime and 4 hours 40 minutes of awake time. Thats without bump charging it either. Score one for the oem.

I use the HTC 2150 and I love it. One charge lasts all day with HEAVY use.
