my just arrived today :) I hope it will be better than stock !

But with the rom that I have a few days now , with a fair use even the stock battery is not as bad as the first few days of use. one day ( 35 % -left ) ...it seems to be loving it !!
[HTC Sensation] mark1316:
And the Rom your using is ????? and your overclock settings are ????
[HTC Sensation] dadozi:
HyperSensation-CM7.1-v0.8 - stock kernel -- UC 1.08 Ghz
[HTC Sensation] piratashitzu:
Maybe the "old" battery doesn't deal with news overclocked roms.

Note that the new ones are trying to reach an overclock of1.5 Ghz .

This can be the cause of battery drain.

I'm using Revolution HD rom with the patch to mantain 1.2 Ghz.

Now my battery has enough charge for a hole day (24h) with moderate use.
[HTC Sensation] tsanchez31:
Bought one, and hopefully its way better then stock battery.
[HTC Sensation] PsicheAlCubo:
Ok..after a few charge/discharge and monitoring with Battery Widget I can say: the tool mesured 1740mAh instead of the 1900 mAh promised.

Still it seems to me a VERY good deal considering the price of the battery..!

All we're missing now it's just an "endurance test" to tell us how is the overall battery life (I mean..how many months/years we can expect these batteries to perform that good)..!

I just hope they're not gonna die too soon :)

Happy Anker to everybody!
[HTC Sensation] SiliconBug:
The same eBay US seller lists Anker 1800mAh x 2 with free charger for Evo 3D and Amaze 4D, and this package is $18 only. (1900mAh package for Sensation is $28)

Go for the cheaper one, and will update the result later.
[HTC Sensation] xodren:
will the battery be able to fit in? the price difference is really quite tempting
[HTC Sensation] SiliconBug:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2x-Anker-18...&otn=4&po=LVI&ps=63&clkid=4134495995368608917

Compatible with HTC EVO 3D(4G) / Shooter / Amaze 4G / Sensation XL.

I don't mind it's 100mAh less. :p
[HTC Sensation] PsicheAlCubo:
Actually: the advertised 1900 after various tests has been proved to be around 1740 mAh so..if we're talking about the same battery even for the cheaper offer you will just save money, if they're 2 different batteries you could end with a battery similar or inferior to the stock one.

That said, for the price, it's still a good deal to me ;)
[HTC Sensation] squeeish:
Hi guys, anyone noticed that the temperature reading for this battery seems to be the same no matter how hot the phone gets?
[HTC Sensation] ak29:
Yup the temperature reading is disabled or doesn't work with the anker battery.
[HTC Sensation] Ryanrenesis:
Chichitec: a Better Performer

If you want more battery life, I recommend purchasing Chichitec 1900 for Sensation or 1930 for Evo3D. They're only $18.99 on htcexpress.com with 10OFF coupon code.

I tested the Chichitec 1900 and it measured 1857mAh after 1 full cycle (See review). Compared to stock, my battery life went from 18 hrs to over 30 hrs, a 67% increase in battery life.
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
Ah, I had been wondering why it never seemed to change temps.
[HTC Sensation] PsicheAlCubo:
Advertising an increase of 67% of battery life after an increase of 21% of its mAh power looks a bit pretentious ;)

Indeed there will be an increase in battery life..but that result is all about a different usage of your phone ;)
[HTC Sensation] jjdoctor:
lol...+1

Infact when u buy a new battery, you always tend to use it less to convince urself that your new battery is much efficient...:D
[HTC Sensation] Ryanrenesis:
hehe hey don't shoot the messenger, I'm only stating my observations :P

I tried to use the phone as I would with the stock battery.
[HTC Sensation] SiliconBug:
Any idea to test the capacity?
[HTC Sensation] PsicheAlCubo:
Battery widget and Battery widget pro (from 3C)

Actually my post was connected to some tests I made a few weeks ago, but I have to admit that more recent tests with another Anker have shown a capacity of around 1904 mAh so...maybe the earlier ones were wrong or the first battery I used was faulty...

However I repeat: for what they cost 1740 or 1900 mAh, it's a damn good deal anyway..!! ;)

The only parameter that wasn't test so far it's their reliability as time goes by: I mean..if they have an acceptable loss of performance and how much is that...only time will tell!
[HTC Sensation] GabrielSousa:

[HTC Sensation] PsicheAlCubo:
Wow..that's remarkable! Would be nice to know a little more:

1- ROM + kernel (EDIT -->

Sorry, I wrote this with Tapatalk and couldn't read you signature!!

)

2- Usage

I had a 40h run with the stock battery once..but I barely used the phone and I had charged it by USB port..!

Sent from my brain with Beats Audio using my psychic powers
[HTC Sensation] alikebab:
After the first time useing i had a capacity of 1860 ...round about... mah.

meanwhile i´m SO happpy that i bought this extended battery...makes my sensation more sensational...

(After finding the right rom, right kernel etc...of course.)
[HTC Sensation] dronepro:
I have a stock bat' and i have been having issues with bat' life since i rooted my phone. I have always been using Mike1986's ROMS which are killer but his latest release 3.6.7, i don't know what tweaks they did to battery life but even since i upgraded the ROM a few days ago i have seen battery life improvements like no other, example:

Been using my phone as much as i always do today and before the last ROM release from 8am to 2:20pm (current time) i would be well below 50%, probably around the 40% mark. I am currently at a glorious 77% and i have not plugged it in once.

I forgot to say before i would cheat and plug it in a few times throught the day.

I am looking at this 1900mAh and i'm thinking if i get it, with current battery tweaks i will have it close to 2 days with out a charge. KILLER.

Check out his ROM. It's pretty dang good. I am however exploring a faster Kernel, Anyone test a kernel above 1.5Ghz for Sensation 4G that works well, or very well?

I am kind of an OC freak and i would love to see my Sensation4G run above 1.7Ghz but nothing crazier than a 2.0Ghz as i am sure the CPU will fry to high hell.
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
I just received my anker battery today. It seems to be doing the job, my phone's been in use pretty frequently over the past hour since I turned it on, and the battery is still at 99%. On the standard battery, it would have been at about 80-85% by now. So I'm pleased already.

I've also read that you lose the battery temp functionality with the anker battery, but I've been deliberately looking and the temp has been changing. It was 25.3 degrees, then 25.2 and now up to 25.4. Granted that's hardly anything, but it shows that the temp sensor does indeed still work as intended. Might just be that this new battery can maintain a more consistent temperature than the standard one.
[HTC Sensation] SiliconBug:
Receive Anker 1800mAh today.

The dimension is the same as OEM HTC 1730mAh battery (4x49x50mm), and thicker than HTC 1520mAh one (3.5x49x50mm).

Starting the first charge now.:D
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
Hang out here for kernel fun...enjoy OC!
[HTC Sensation] xodren:
so it can fit well in the htc sensation? can update about performance? it seems more value for money than the 1900mah since it's so much more cheaper
[HTC Sensation] BriEE:
I think the Anker ~= the EVO 3D batt...

I still got one in the packaged not opened, seem very professional wrapping.

If anyone wants, I can sell for $15+ ship etc:D
[HTC Sensation] Bronyr:
I found Anker battery to be a bit better than stock, by about 15-20%. Still a good jump.
[HTC Sensation] PsicheAlCubo:
That is most probably just because you didn't calibrate your battery yet..! Anker battery it's a good deal but doesn't make any miracle!!

Actually, the thing is that even when you can feel the back of your phone quite worm it says 25.2 to 25.5 so: indeed the temp chip of the batt doesn't work at all (or can't comunicate correctly..) ;)
[HTC Sensation] xodren:
i'm interested? but i think shipping's gonna cost a bomb
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
You can buy them for twelve quid delivered off amazon anyway.
[HTC Sensation] jjdoctor:
lol.. Who would buy from you for 15$?? I bought a pair for 22$... the problem is that you have bought something and not committing to take a loss... Rather i find you looking for profit...

Your best bet is to sell it cheaper in your locality to a Sensation user...
[HTC Sensation] BriEE:
It cost me $15 on ebay + $4 shipping, so I bought it at $15, profit how? I"m already losing $4 if I sell at $15.

I don't get the luxuries of living in USA where shipping is $0.001 or free to anywhere except outside of USA
[HTC Sensation] masondoctorjt:
Been using my Anker for about a month, and 1926mAh is the lowest capacity it's showed for it so far.
[HTC Sensation] squeeish:
Yeap that's true. Sometimes for some reason Battery Monitor Widget has a different temperature reading but the back of the phone plus the softkeys are easily 30 degrees or more.
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
I've not even felt mine get hot since.
[HTC Sensation] brandi:
Did you notice that the Anker batt is way more heavy and thick than the stock one? there was just space left in the back of the phone and they used it!

I am chargin my new anker bat. for the first time right now and will then start my measurements.
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
Yeah, that's how it can have a higher capacity.
[HTC Sensation] Michael_Mcr:
Have been following this thread for a while and thought i would add my experiences.

I have an HTC Sensation, stock 02 UK ROM ( Android 2.3.4 software ver 1.45.206.2 ).

I have had 3 of the Anker 1900mAh batteries since the first week of September, because i bought one of them and was so immediatly impressed i then bought the twin pack with charger for travelling with work.

These are the findings that i have about using the Anker batteries:

The Anker battery is just slightly thicker than the stock battery, less than 1mm thicker and fits easily inside the stock battery cover.

I have less issues with the phone getting warm to the touch now, than in the 3 months that i ran the stock battery, which would quite often get warm to the touch. Now, i can just occasionally feel a little warmth in the battery cover under heavy use, but its quite a rare event now.

I think this is because ( just my guess ) the stock battery is undersized and is therefore always under a heavier drain by the Sensation and therefore warms up more readily

The Anker batteries need 3-5 hours of charge using a 1amp charger to be fullly charged - they get to an indicated 100% charge in about 2 to 2.5 hours charge, but my feeling is that they are only actually about 75% fully charged at that point. I cant reset my battery stats as i am not yet rooted, but the Sensation seems to have re-calibrated itself after now using the Anker batteries for a while.

If you give them a 5 hour charge, then when they come off charge they will stay at 100% indicated charge for several hours, however much you use the Sensation and will then very slowly fall back through 90% charge and downward.

When they are fully charged, then i get about a day and a half of moderate use before they get to less than 50% charge. With light use (mainly standby) , i can get 2 full days or more before they get to less than 50% indicated.

I do think they are fantastic value for the money.
[HTC Sensation] PsicheAlCubo:
Well actually it is NOT way more heavy:

Stock is 31gr - Anker is 34gr .....you want to tell me you can actually feel a difference of 3gr with your hand?!

It is not even that thicker:

Stock is 4,95 mm - Anker is 5,46 mm ....we're talking about 0,51 mm......!!!!

Both of the values shows that Anker is just 10% heavier and thicker...while supposingly it should have around 23% more mAh (from 1540 to 1900)...

I guess truth is in the middle...still I won't get tired repeating: considering what it costs it's a damn good deal!! ;)

---------- Post added at 02:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:36 PM ----------

Thank you!! This was EXACTLY what I was searching for! So you can assure they don't lose their capacity of recharging over a short period of time?!

Great! I had the double pack with charger too but sold the second battery as I don't feel any need to have more than 1 Anker plus the stock one!
[HTC Sensation] Michael_Mcr:
Yes i bought the first one on the 2nd September and the other 2 on the 6th September and have been rotating them in the 8 weeks since then - they show no sign of degredation at all and are performing just as well as when they were new.

TBH, i dont need 3, but it was handy to have a spare one plus the Anker charger, which is able to charge the phone via USB cable and simultaneously charge one of the batteries.

so when i go away i take the charger, phone and one spare battery which i can charge at same time as phone.

The Anker battery is small and slim enough i can fit it in coin pocket of jeans on a big nite out and then bore my mates with endless you toob videos all night when we are out drinking ! :)
[HTC Sensation] mark1316:
I have these and they are fine. Only issue I can see is that I cant seem to see the capacity of the battery in any tools?

I used Battery Monitor Wigget and it shows 1580mha . I added the battery by name and voltage and still shows 1580mh .

Is there something else I can use to see the capacity of the battery ?
[HTC Sensation] SiliconBug:
Haven't got a chance to measure the real capacity of Banker 1800mAh, but I see the temperature keeps changing between 2x-3x C.
[HTC Sensation] mark1316:
what app is this ?
[HTC Sensation] PsicheAlCubo:
Battery Monitor Widget by 3C

There is a "calibration" tab where it tells you how to measure your battery capacity

Also via settings you can override the correct battery capacity so your Sensation will (supposingly) be more accurate when calculating the %

Sent from my brain with Beats Audio using my psychic powers
[HTC Sensation] mark1316:
I got that but im on the free one . Must be the paid app that shows that screen
[HTC Sensation] PsicheAlCubo:
Nope..you can do everything I said with the free version: the paid one let you have more widgets and integration with System Tuner (also by 3C) to export the data you collected and use them to tune your device

Sent from my brain with Beats Audio using my psychic powers
[HTC Sensation] miniterror:
Integration with system tuner and tune my devive?

Can you please explain what you mean?

I have booth pro versions as it are superb apps, but i cant see where my batt file could tune my device.

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] PsicheAlCubo:
In the free version if you hit "update mah" or "update reference" in the calibration tab you get a message stating "To enable this feature you need the pro version. Exporting data to System Tuner requires both pro version"

These words look quite clear to me :) though to know how to use them to tune your device you should either ask to the developer or read a guide as I never has the pro versions ;)

3117mah?? Seriously

I think I must be doing something wrong.

I updated ARHD rom to latest yesterday which wipes battery stats.

I put in the Anker 1900mah battery.

Charged to full/green light.

drained it all day with gps, hulu and wifi

put battery monitor pro on as it charged all night

hit calibrate this morning and I get 3117mah!!!

what did I do wrong? or do I have a super battery :) hahaha!!

I received my anker battery yesterday and charged for a few hours after full and unplugged at 12 am. Right now its 4 pm and I still have 36 battery left! On a normal day with stock htc battery I unplug at 8 am and battery is completely dead by 4 pm.

Also phone has not gotten very hot where the buttons are which is the main reason I replaced stock battery. Could not use phone longer than 10 minutes without me thinking it was going to break or overheat. I am clocked @ 1.5ghz

Yep maybe 4 hrs total... Over 2+ days ain't bad. 3 mail accts bluetooth phone and auto brightness.

Hi everyone, could someone give me advices about the setup to make use of Battery monitor widget.

Currently, I'm setting up the capacity of 1740, mA corrections ticked. However, about the calibration, I honestly do not know what to set to make use of the Anker.

To sum up, in the BMW app, what values should I modify and what number are they?

Thanks in advance and any advices are much appreciated!

I never had any issue with temp using Anker.

BTW I'm having an impressive 36h run and still have some juice: 19%

I never had a run that long and I think that's because I usually charge the battery in the phone..while this time I charged it with the charger that came with the double pack!

I bought one of these from Amazon for $15, but Im not getting that great life it of it. For instance I've been running for 4 hours and I'm down to 79% and I've sent maybe 3-4 texts, but done nothing else.

Running CM7 with bricked kernel,

Brightness at 23%, no GPS, BT, or wifi. Also I've been set to 2g only, with the exception of this post. Maybe they sent me a bad battery?
[HTC Sensation] PsicheAlCubo:
Anker gets better after 5-6 complete charge-discharge cycles.

Also helps leaving the battery on charge even if the Sensation says it's full..let's say for another hour

If you got the double pack with charger included, you can use it to charge the battery gaining some more juice

No need to restart, just cycle a few more times & you should start to see better batt performance.

Just try to keep it as close to 100-0-100% as often as you can for best consistent results. No need to go out of your way.
[HTC Sensation] Backthen:
bought 1, not noticing much better performance, disappointed tbh.
[HTC Sensation] Gunkk:
Li-ion batteries do not like to be deep discharged repeatedly. Once or twice to "condition" when new is OK, but not every day or you will shorten the long-term life of the battery.

Sent from my Bricked Energy Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
No it will not as long as you are not forcing drain after it shuts down and recharge immediately. Batteries are clever nowadays, and have some decent self defence skills, but of course, stupidity along with determination go a long way lol.
[HTC Sensation] walle4893:
So here's what Im gonna do when I receive the new anker battery to get maximum performance

1. Put it in the phone and use the rest of the battery until 10% or lower.

2. Turn off the phone and charge it to 100% full.

3. Unplug, use it until power save mode's on (or less than 10%)

4. Repeat #2

Is there any problem with that? Do I do anything wrong?
