will we see extended battery's?

[lumpaywk]

I don't really know much about how easy replacing phones with bigger battery's, but is it likely that htc will sell a bigger power battery for the hd7 ie 1500 or something?

I've seen regualr replacement batterys for the HD7 advertised but not extended ones...not yet anyway.

As always, it's just a matter of time before Mugen/HTC/Seidio etc announce an extended battery.

I hope they can squeeze a true not BS 1500mAH battery in there without a new back cover. It would ruin the design.

There are 1500mAH batteries listed on Ebay already but how can you tell if its the same old 1230mAH battery with a different sticker on it? Is it even possible to squeeze 270 more mA into a battery of the same size?

 

[ProjektFuze]

lol of course its possible.. have you seen the size of the EVO's battery??? that was 1500 and the dimensions were quiute similar to that of the HD2... so I don't see why it would make a difference

I bought an HD7 and love it. Battery life is not the greatest so I just ordered a 1500 mAh battery for it. I'll let you guys know if it is any better. BTW, the HD7 comes with a 1230 mHa battery (thanks HTC for going cheap here :-| )


Also, the Evo 4G which is almost the exact same hw device comes with a 1500 mHa out of the box.

rfleites, did you get the battery?

I'd like to know also... see if there is much of a difference.

Yeah I'd love to get feedback on the battery too.

I'm sure this is the one we're all talking about:

I've heard those batteries on ebay are fakes. There's a thread on the General HD7 forum.

I have just had an email from these people saying they will be announcing an extended battery tomorrow:

http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/

They look legit.

[Theguru1]

holy sh*t 3900mAh?? really? wow if they work...!!

 

[digime]

I'm sure it works. The qustion is do you want a great big lump sticking out the back of your phone?

 

[nuclear]

Hey guys I ordered the battery but now I need a case that is compatible with this 3900 mah battery.

 

[yly3]

They provide you the battery cover It comes with the battery itself

I'll buy when you confirm whether it will fry my HD7 or not?

3900!!!

If that's available then why wouldn't HTC made (& sold) one themselves? seems like an easy buck

As mentioned above the big battery sticks out the back of your phone in a great big lump (they have a picture on their site now). It will also add a lot to the weight. HTC would never release a phone like this.

Why they didn't make the HD7 just a tiny bit thicker and heavier to squeeze a 1500mAh battery in is another question though.

I am not talking about the battery cover. I am talking about a case. A leather case or any other thing i can protect my phone with so if it drops or anything i dont want any scratches etc.

Just saw the battary pic Man this thing is agly.

now I understand what you ment. No, not for me.

1500mAh?

Im not so bothered for the 3900 especially with the size of the thing!

But is there a 1500mAh replacement battery that wont need a new battery cover and that wont change the original design form factor of my HD7?
