Can I buy extra baterry in Serbia for me? I have online shop, but I dont have battery for desire HD
We don't have paypal.
Thanks
i'd also like to know :)
I also had that problem while on holiday in Serbia. You have a lack in phone accessories unfortunately and disappointing that paypal doesn't work. Your best choice is to ask a relative from another country to buy it. Also, there are other ways of paying online that paypal.

You should get PayPal, it is easy to get an account and you can use it for worldwide purchases, so i would definitely advice PayPal.
And for Batteries for HTC Desire HD I would advice Mugen Power brand 1500mAh battery
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...ery-for-for-htc-desire-hd-softbank-001ht.html
The product has very good reviews and very good performance, Mugen is also a reliable brand.
I also recommend the Mugen battery.

Regards payment, you should be able to make a bank transfer to them, they also use Moneybookers (not sure that helps) - you don't have credit cards?

so, there's no better replacement than mugen ?
There are certainly no end of "hi-capacity" batteries being sold on e-bay, but they are all fake. At best they have a similar capacity to the stock battery. If they are selling for $1-3, well that's OK I guess. But then watch out for the charging circuitry, because they will be cutting corners.

I would only buy a HTC branded replacement battery, or the Mugen - for the guarantee of quality, since I expect a battery to perform for 1 year with constant use.

Search the accessories thread for "battery" and "Mugen", you'll see what I mean :)

According to my own experience i haven't seen people mentioning a great difference between a stock and, let's say a 1500 mAh battery. Or am i wrong? i mean, with my current battery (more than an year old now) i'm getting 3 days of standby time with little use and with moderate use i get around 1-2 days (mostly 1 day) with moderate to heavy use when using internet...which is, i mean pretty much like any other smartphone out in the market.

That certainly doesn't coincide with my experience. I manage connections via Juice Defender (theoretically it provides me with 1.96x battery life...), with push email - but browsing, the odd game and a few phone calls means I just about get to night time to re-charge. As soon as the screen is on, the power drain is significant (tweaked auto-brightness).

My phone is just over a year old - the original battery was beginning to lose power noticeably, so I got a Mugen battery (the only brand of replacement batteries you should trust), which provides 1500mAh. I can definitely see a big difference vs the old, tired, OEM battery.

I found an 2450 mAh battery gold on eBay,look it up :fingers-crossed:
1000% that is the fake battery... only the cover is 2450mAH :D
I have bought one 1600mAh from Inno Cell Korea for 10$, it is also faked ones because its capacity is not 1600mAh
I use Battery Monitor widget pro to measure it, however it is only around 1200mAh+/-25% so it is the same as stock battery.
Anyway with ten bugs for a spare battery :d

Guys if you want better battery you can use battery from htc sensation. It`s bigger than stock one and you`ll need to break battery cover to close contacts for wi-fi work. I think it`s the simpliest solution =)

Not sure if it's a good idea to break battery cover,but if it's, is the most affordable alternative. Anyone tried? Deiji?

There is a whole topic explaining many options about this matter.
Check the topic about sensation battery. Or look at my guide at my signature.
It's in Greek, but you will have the concept from the photos.

The phone is working great all these months and also Wi-Fi is back to normal with other antenna.

In terms of affordability, there are at least 2 other options, instead of getting an additional battery/making a Sensation one fit in the HD:

1) an external power pack. Get a good one like NewTrent off Amazon, 5000mAh should cost you in the region of €25. Advantage - for the size of the phone, you can carry over 3x the original battery charge (and only connect it when needed, so it's not bulky 100% of the time). They even do 11000mAh packs, but they get proportionally bigger and that is about 8x the stock battery.

2) get a powerskin, currently on offer for about $20 I think on powerskin.com. Doubles capacity, can be taken off, but bulky when being used. On the plus side, it does double as a case.

I've got a 5000mAh external power pack, does the job fine, and I only take it with me/slip in into a bag if I'm going out all day on my bike (recording tracks etc) or into the countryside.

As an additional benefit, you don't need to power down when you connect either of these options, so it's more convenient than swapping a battery.

Chinese batteries are not good. The best ones are, the ones that are expensive. And you'll never have for HTC Desire HD batteries with real 1600, 1800 2450 mamp.

Try Mugen batteries, and test one from them. Others says that are ok.
