Its $14 on ebay and $15 on amazon. That is an outdated listing.
[HTC Sensation] chisleu:
I got mine in the mail yesterday and put it in, charged it up(~6:30pm charged), and installed Juice Protector Ultimate.

It's 12 hours later and I'm pimping >50% power with some light-medium usage. It's not fully calibrated so this could be 70% or 20%. no telling. :)

I'm very pleased. And the 2.3.4 RC4 insertcoin lets ADWex be so amazingly fast for normal usage that I enabled all animations for fun!!! I mean, if you have all this battery and don't use it, what's the point? :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] ragnarokx:
Does anyone know the difference between these two Anker batteries?

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0..._m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1KXMNW28VNPQ10BJ4679

http://www.amazon.com/Anker-1900mAh-Battery-Sensation-MyTouch/dp/B0053EZJMC

One is $2 more list price.
[HTC Sensation] brian85:
They are the same exact battery, just from different sellers.
[HTC Sensation] ragnarokx:
Both of them say the seller is Laptopmate fullfilled by Amazon. Weird.
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
Laptopmate store the batteries in Amazon's warehouse. So Amazon HAVE the battery so they ship it out. Read the "fullfilled by Amazon".
[HTC Sensation] willhub:
I've just ordered the one from Amazon.co.uk, I do alot of web browsing and the stock battery goes like no tomorrow. Was a tenner including Royal Mail 1st Class
[HTC Sensation] ragnarokx:
That's not what I was referring to as weird - the poster who replied to my question about why they are priced differently said it was due to the listings being by different sellers, but both are by the same seller.
[HTC Sensation] xSDMx:
For anyone who wants to see a quantitative test of the Anker battery versus the OEM battery, I wrote a quick review here.
[HTC Sensation] DANOFDANGER:
Yea this things great deffinitly two fold difference.
[HTC Sensation] r3awak3n:
got mine on ebay for 10 bucks free shipping and so far so good. 1st day using and i have still 35% left after about 16 hours of medium use. Even played a game. If it was 30 bucks i prob would not care but for 10 bucks its a damn worthy battery.
[HTC Sensation] willhub:
I've got mine in.

It's draining quick, had 57% on when I first put it in, used battery monitor which thinks it's 1500 something mAh, I typed 1900 in calibration nothing changed.

I wiped battery stats, went up to 61%, currently gone down to 57%.

I guess I should just drain it then charge it? Might have to spend a couple hours watching videos on it to drain it quick.
[HTC Sensation] n1ghtl1fe:
first couple charges arent going to be impressive at all. I got mine early last week and im on my 4 full charge (full i mean fully depleting the battery and fully charging by leaving it on charger an hour after LED turns green). As of right now im at 99% its been off the charger for 2 1/2 hours, ive sent some texts, did a little web surfing, and made a 200mb download.

Give it a few good chargers and then at 100% wipe battery stats. You'll see a nice increase in life
[HTC Sensation] willhub:
What should I actually use the recalibrate because that battery monitor does not do it.
[HTC Sensation] n1ghtl1fe:
If your rooted use clockwork mod recovery, you can go to advanced menu and wipe battery stats
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Very nice review. Just one small quibble. You calculate the difference between the Anker and OEM as 25.6% based on the Rush Drain test. Actually the Anker is 34.4% better than the stock battery: (168-125)/125=.344. The Anker is even a better deal than you thought. :)
[HTC Sensation] xSDMx:
You are absolutely correct, thank you. (168/125)-1 does indeed equal 34.4%. I used all of my percentages based on the percent decrease in capacity of the 1900 mAh to the 1520 mAh - this is obviously misleading given what I wrote.
[HTC Sensation] willhub:
Will have a read of that review after tea, I'm sure it's already proving to be impressive for me, first run and I've being using the camera alot and it only went down to 43%.
[HTC Sensation] stuart0001:
I'm mightily impressed.

With stock I was getting about 12 hours with 2.5 hr screen-on.

With the Anker today I'm at 1.5 hr screen-on, 11 hours since charge and still at 40% :)
[HTC Sensation] jayheit75:
Not happy with the battery...I got mine over a week ago...and its just has good as the stock one.....hmmmm....maybe I got a bad one!!!
[HTC Sensation] n1ghtl1fe:
it depends if you condition it. supposedly you don't have too but if you do it seems to last a lot longer. got mine about a week ago and just now am noticing a difference from stock
[HTC Sensation] luan87us:
I've gotten a little over 26 hours (some texting, some youtube, some facebook, some gaming) on my Anker batter without recalibrate or battery stats wipe at all lol. i've been switching it out with the stock battery. $10 well spent I must say. Now on to the quest for a good screen protector.
[HTC Sensation] slydog43:
59.96 now on ebay, wow what a rip. I just got 2 and a charger on amazon for a little over $28 delivered 2 day
[HTC Sensation] Dacoit:

[HTC Sensation] Jawad1977:
any idea how to get hold of this battery in Pakistan, no shipping possible and any substitute battery is china copy.
[HTC Sensation] bobblesss:
I received mine from laptopmate on ebay for $12 shipped. I was trying to calibrate the battery since I put it in at 9am. I ended up waiting till 10pm for it to drain. That's with wifi on and bluetooth and a few movies. This thing is amazing!
[HTC Sensation] willhub:
I will get about 15 hours today from my battery.

I might bump charge it.
[HTC Sensation] willhub:
Well I have had about 13 hours so far, got to 34% then restarted phone, then was at 50% but appears to be going down quicker, not bad though.
[HTC Sensation] nyknicks8:
On battery monitor, should it automatically detect 1900mAh or do we have to manually enter it? For me it shows the OEM 1580mAh unless I manually type it in.

Edit: I have already done wipe battery stats on CWM.
[HTC Sensation] joshndroid:
how would i go about getting one of these in AUS..
[HTC Sensation] willhub:
This battery charged quick! It's already at 96% and it's only being on charged about 40 mins!
[HTC Sensation] jayheit75:
How do you condition the battery?
[HTC Sensation] xSDMx:
Ideally you don't. For more information about why you don't, check out my review posted two pages ago.
[HTC Sensation] willhub:
I followed what was posted in a thread about doubling the battery life and It may have worked, downloading atm and browsing the net, 10 mins later I'd expect the battery to loose about 3% and It's still at 100%
[HTC Sensation] imcunner:
Debating to try this or the mugen battery
[HTC Sensation] khakiman:
Definitely picking one of these up! I have a couple chinese 1800 ones that like to die at foirty percent
[HTC Sensation] RaViCa:
Not So Strange

Sorry, I know this quoted post is nearly a month old. (I'm a noob and catching up on all the great info here)

I've seen this happen more than once on my Sensation and also previous phones I have owned. I just figured it took the phone a moment to recalculate how much battery power was remaining. Just in case you are wondering I have only used the oem battery included with my phone.

After reading this thread actually thinking about ditching it.
[HTC Sensation] kirdroid:
Ordered the 1900mAh for both my Sensation & SGS2. Came around $26 + free prime shipping. I think it is worth by reading all the reviews here.

Those who are using feel any difference in weight or is it negligible?
[HTC Sensation] Jammo:
I just got my Anker 1900mAh today. It is indeed half milimeter thicker and since i did not scale it, i could tell it's little heavier than stock. Just can't wait to cycle 4-5 times and put it thru the test!
[HTC Sensation] adamhlj:
I have been trying to find how to wipe battery data, and the only information people seem to put is information for a rooted phone. Since I have not rooted my phone, is there a way to wipe the battery data without doing a factory reset?
[HTC Sensation] iftikar666:
Thanks for posting this - saved me hunting in Amazon :D

I'll be getting myself one as well I think :)
[HTC Sensation] jermaindefoe:
i need a new battery badly, mine charges over night and is dead by 12 lunch time with bluetooth and wifi etc all off

please can someone let me know of the best one to get

thank you
[HTC Sensation] abrown0809:
I just ordered my anker battery set. This is what I ordered.

http://www.amazon.com/Anker-1900mAh...K7YS/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1313152586&sr=8-6

Once I get them I will report in with my results.
[HTC Sensation] Tayutama:
Anyone able to buy some from Amazon UK and ship it to Denmark?

Ill pay for the batteries, shipping and + £20 for the trouble.

I'm looking to get ahold of 4-5 batteries
[HTC Sensation] stuart0001:
Drop me a pm and I can sort it for you. Don't worry about the 20 extra as I'd only want cost covered.
[HTC Sensation] heygrl:
You can get the ChiChiTec batteries on eBay shipped anywhere, they have the same stamps.
[HTC Sensation] kwikie14:
where can i buy anker or chichitec? im from philippines, amazon don't ship here, can someone help me tnx
[HTC Sensation] umd:
What a stupid graph this is. Battery is very good but when I reboot the phone normally or into recovery it changes the percentage dramatically.
[HTC Sensation] willhub:
I get that, clearly it's not reading the battery level properly, my battery is draining like no tomorrow also..

I reckon the anker battery is same mAh cause it's not lasting longer here.
[HTC Sensation] manyee:
I have an interesting experience ( a good one).

I use my phone for work and usually last 1 day ( 7am - 11pm) with 20-35% left at the end of the day.

Few days ago I didn't bother to drain the battery so there was 36% left and I charged it overnight.

Surprisingly, this time the battery last amazingly 1 day 11 hours 50 minutes before finally died by itself.

And that's with normal usage: 1-2 hrs talk, some browsing, changing scene, wallpaper, took like 7 photos.

Anybody has this experience?

It seems the battery is getting better the longer I use it.
[HTC Sensation] adamhlj:
So here is my experience. My phone is currently at 15% with light usage. It is now 1230. I unplugged my phone at 830 am. Yesterday. And I'm still trying to condition the battery, although, I think that batteries with nickel tend to be the problem ones. Not lithium ion. This battery is the best! Htc makes me scratch my head, sometimes.
[HTC Sensation] bft579:
Yea I see around 48 hours with normal/light usage with anker
[HTC Sensation] dhdcdarchy:
I ordered two of these with the free wall charger from Amazon @ £11.90 which I thought was cheap as hell, dispatched not long ago expect to receive them in the next few days, My OEM battery is very inconsistent sometimes with heavy use will last a good 14hours or so and sometimes barely lasts 7hours, as well as this it seems to heat up when performing certain tasks its very strange this phone definitely needed a bigger OEM battery, pretty disappointing from HTC.

I've been hearing nothing but good things about the performance of the Anker battery and as long as it doesn't damage my phone I think I should be all set :)
[HTC Sensation] kirdroid:
Received this today, charged it up to 100%, cleared battery stats. For the last 2 hours with moderate use still 98% left. I see immediate improvement and think worth the purchase :)
[HTC Sensation] willhub:
Restart your phone, or power off then on, confirm is it the same %?

I thought oh great I'm only down to 96% after like 5 hours, restarted the phone and the thing went straight down to 71%, the battery stats are VERY dodgy.
[HTC Sensation] joshndroid:
bought one of these from ebay... the only guy who would post international was a bit more expensive at about $25 but.. thats really not much of an issue... hopefully get it soon it was marked as posted the other day
[HTC Sensation] kirdroid:
No I'm not having that issue currently, battery reading looks accurate. Below is the screen shot, moderate use, left overnight with around 4 email accounts sync.
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
27% Left.

I plugged it into my computer to transfer some files that's why theres a bit of green in the charging bit.
[HTC Sensation] willhub:
I don't know why mine is draining so quick, maybe these screenies will help anyone identiy why.

Today in town I probs did about 1.5 hours web browsing, 2 1 min calls, 10-15mins sonic on Gensoid emulator, and then about 2 hours radio, phone was in my pocket so only radio, screen off.

I took some photos, probs used around 12mb of my download allowance today with the web browsing.

I'm at around 34% now.

It's actually being around 12 hours since I took it off charge just I restarted the phone for something.

[HTC Sensation] miro.san:
I order the two pack + usb charger from Amazon last week. I'm on my second charging cycle with the first Anker battery and I am seeing noticeable improvement already. Typically by this time of day I would be around 30-40% battery and right now it's about 60% or so. Thanks again to the OP and everyone else for posting their positive results with these, made it an easy decision for me!
[HTC Sensation] TheChocoTaco:
Let's see what destiny has coming my way?!?!?!? [It's been ordered :D ]
[HTC Sensation] TheMightiest1981:
Well I've already placed this battery in my Sensation and have it charging, while monitoring it with the battery monitor widget. Interesting enough was that the battery monitor widget correctly measured my stock battery at 1520mah, but it read this Anker battery at 1580mah. I over-rid the initial setting to 1900 but from here we'll see what is really going on with this thing.
[HTC Sensation] EyeAndroid:
Updates? Comon guys its been enough time to charge! I'm really interested to see if this thing really does have a 1900mah capacity.

My initial thought would be the fact that its a big scam. Because a battery of the same chemical composure would need to be larger to have a larger capacity.

I know this this because I have a ton of experience in R/C related products. I fly r/c planes and know for a fact that a lipo battery of 1500mah is smaller than a 1900mah battery.

Now if we are comparing NIMH batteries to LIPO batterys then we are talking about batteries of 2 different chemical make ups. NIMH is larger, heavier, with a lower capacity. Thats why the R/C hobby has gone all to lipos. Smaller, more powerful, less weight, more capacity.

I am hoping, really hoping these guys found some way to ingeniously fit an additional 400mah to the same size battery. Its like adding an additional 30% of battery life with absolutely no size penalties.
[HTC Sensation] JWhipple:
Enough time to charge it, yes, enough time to have put it through it's paces , no, and even though, you're not going to get an accurate run the first time around.. Usually takes a week or so of regular use before you can have an idea of how long the battery REALLY is going to last.
[HTC Sensation] :
Just a quick question, mate. How or where did you have to change this setting? I have this battery on it's way to my house. Should be here tomorrow or the next day. So I'd like to know. Thanks in advance!
[HTC Sensation] TheMightiest1981:
If you've downloaded the battery monitor widget, you would go to setting, then monitoring and then battery capacity, enter the desired number and voila all done.
[HTC Sensation] SinisterGame:
I must say i am fairly impressed. It was unplugged at 6am and right now its 10:07pm(PST) and im on 55% battery charge... and this is the first die-down to my initial charge.
[HTC Sensation] groovechild:
what would your battery be at normally?
[HTC Sensation] SinisterGame:
My stock battery would need to be plugged in by now... but the verdict is still out on this battery since this is the first usage of the phone so im gonna report back in a few days
[HTC Sensation] EyeAndroid:
How did you use it through the day? Heavy usage?
[HTC Sensation] SinisterGame:
3ish hours of winamp, numerous small talk with multiple people, constant fiddling throughout my work day and pretty much non-stop texting for the last hour or so up until this post...
[HTC Sensation] misterjimmy:
Well if I had to put my .02 in for now I had it charged for a good 3.5hrs. unplugged the phone from 3pm(full charge) till about now and I had about 38% battery life left. Thats pretty impressive the fact that I was taking some photos, 40 min straight of peggle, some emails, and texting.

So far my verdict its doing its job and for sure I can guarantee my stock battery would have taken a dump after playing peggle for that long.

By the end of the week I should be able to provide a better review.
[HTC Sensation] SinisterGame:
Yea, the improvement is pretty blatant regardless of what cycle you're on.
[HTC Sensation] xftox:
Ill take it pm me
[HTC Sensation] alexkit14:
i want one!

i want one! =(
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
From what i understand it's not about priming batteries anymore, but about building correct battery stats on the phone, so it can charge it fully.
[HTC Sensation] wbexpress:
I'm on my 2nd cycle (1 almost full discharge), it seems to be fairly equivalent to the OEM, so, it was a good $10 spent...
[HTC Sensation] groovechild:
As good as oem, but not better?
[HTC Sensation] tu3712:
Review

I got mine yesterday. Put it in this AM to discharge it. lasted as long if not longer than my OEM bat right out of th box!!! The OEN bat for me is a POS. I dont use the phone a whole lot durning the day but when i get home and am ready to play on it, I have to plug it in. hopefully this is a good sign.

I put it in today straight out of the box and it lasted as long if not longer than my OEM. I have had phone for 2 weeks so the OEM is trained, conditioned, whatever you want to call it.
[HTC Sensation] TheMightiest1981:
Ok, I must just have a great battery pack, because I took my phone off the charger at about 7am and I now still have 70% battery. I've been web browsing, and watching you tube video for most of the day. I'll say this thing is far more efficient than the oem battery.
[HTC Sensation] tu3712:
To clarify my negitive comments were directed at the OEM batt. not the ANKER batt.
[HTC Sensation] Dougi:
Hi all ,

i just got mine today.. :D

it came with 72 % ...

they advice to discharge and recharge completly about 4 or 5 times to have the best performance...

finishing full charge over here..., testing and reporting feedbacks in a cupple of days ;)

i also advice myself to download from the market " battery calibration " and to calibrate the battery when the phone is 100 % charged.. this is giving you real info on the percentage info...
[HTC Sensation] AudiHeel:
ntntntntnt
[HTC Sensation] Niekjuh:
Got mine today too!

I thought you have to fully discharge it first, and then recharger/discharge for 4 about 5 times.

Is there also an app which could check the capacity?
[HTC Sensation] umd:
Looks like I solved this problem.

- Charge your phone to %100.

- Unplug it and restart to recovery. Reboot it (by pressing power button)

- It will drop significantly. Charge it to %100 again.

- Unplug it and restart to recovery. Reboot it again (by pressing power button)

Apply this till it doesn't drop any after you restart to recovery and reboot it back. Then install "battery calibration" from the market. It requires root. Open it and press calibrate button. Now you're good to go. Hope this helps.
[HTC Sensation] Pinball_:
Just got my batteries , 67% on first boot up.

Charging it upto 100% now then will start the drain / charge cycle.

Hope its gonna rock my world :D

I doubt it.
[HTC Sensation] TheDeadCPU:
Yea, I thought 1900 was a long stretch lol
[HTC Sensation] shan123:
So there is noticable improvement with Anker 1900? And the dimensions are the same o you need to change the cover?
[HTC Sensation] kurtish:
No need to change the cover.

The battery is slightly thicker, but it fits probably better then the HTC one does!
[HTC Sensation] NinetoFive:
This many pages in has there been a viable canada/international method to get this?
[HTC Sensation] kurtish:
Any of these?

[HTC Sensation] lianw:
eBay?

That's how I got mine.
[HTC Sensation] Jammo:
I got mine from ebay. I am getting more and more autonomy as far as i drain/charge it, it's quite impressive. Today, ia m on my 4th charge and i could manage to play stream music from internet via 4g cell network for 5 hours. It started playing music with 96% remaining. Usually i could not get over 4 hours with OEM battery.

@ xl DIGITAL lx : There is a topic with the battery you mentionned in Hardware section here. I got one of these, and it got only around 1200 mah. Total lie. I cannot get more than 12 hours of light use with this thing.

To check the battery capacity, you need Current widget and Battery capacity calculator from market.
[HTC Sensation] woody21:
the thicker battery is a good thing for me as it reduces the movement of my back cover a lot. much better fit than the htc one.

out of interest just put the batteries on the scales.

htc stock battery - 31.1g

anker battery - 33.2g

2.1 grams extra weight but well worth the extra hours of web radio streaming.

i bought mine from amazon, 2 batteries and a charger. Has anyone else received an Anker battery expert charger like i have??? not seen any mention of it in this thread. its excellent and charges ANY battery, i was expecting an unbranded cheapo charger.
[HTC Sensation] miro.san:
I'm on my fourth discharge now... I get 2 full days with the Anker already. I couldn't get a single day from my stock battery!
[HTC Sensation] Dougi:
this might been stated before, but " monitor battery widget " doesn't show the right temperature , it stays on 25.4 C° , it that normal, do guys know a widget or an app that can show the right temperature..

thanks .
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
Non stock batteries do not have a temp sensor
[HTC Sensation] Dougi:
you mean ANKer batt. does not have a temp. sensore, my stock htc batt shows me the right temp..

:confused:
[HTC Sensation] brorth:
Just got here 2 days ago. The adjustable slider does make it possible to charge almost any battery. I think every old cell phone battery in our house is charged now! The usb port also lets you charge a solo battery and your device battery at the same time.

HTC - 31.0g

Anker - 33.6g

Jury is still out on the battery life, but it seems to last longer than my HTC warranty replacement I got last week.
[HTC Sensation] nokianich:
ive got my battery yesterday, kept with charger for 12 hours and now i have 50% left after 3.5 hours with doing nothing on the phone (not even 1 phonecall) and back of the phone is very hot. Is it normal or something wrong?
[HTC Sensation] Dougi:
why did you left your phone plugged into the charger for 12 hour ??? :confused::eek::eek:

they do not advice to do that.. you might have broken your battery..

advice : use your phone and you reach to 5 % left of battery , charge it but when you see green light ( charge finish ) unplugg your phone from charger
[HTC Sensation] nokianich:
I always do that with all my phones and never had any problems
[HTC Sensation] Niekjuh:
First drain it, then full charge....
[HTC Sensation] Pinball_:
Lol well my way seems to have worked out pretty good but thanks for your input .... ;)

Charged from 67% to 100% and removed from the charger last night.

Used quite a bit today , games , texts, phonecalls, facebook, Gmail syncing etc etc.

23 Hours 46 Mins off the charger ....

3 Hours 59 Mins screen time....

So far so good , very happy !
