the anker is really same or even probably lower than the stock one but its the first charge will see how it go
[HTC Sensation] xl DIGITAL lx:
I didn't really get that impressed with the battery. Maybe I'm just using my phone way too much.
[HTC Sensation] xiobnb:
haha thats so true , cant get my hand off this phone
[HTC Sensation] Sevent33n:
ordered mine 2 days ago hoping it'll come tomarow.
[HTC Sensation] Elchemist:
ok I tried reading through all the pages and I don't think this info exists.

Anyone have a source for these that will ship to Canada?

Amazon.com & uk.co and ebay are sold by the same company I think, and none will ship to Canada.
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
Just died on 27hrs mod use. Now charging up 3rd cycle

Worth the money
[HTC Sensation] xl DIGITAL lx:
Wow that sounds great, I feel like my battery isnt that good or maybe they're the apps running in the background. Any ways, im getting a replacement battery to see if this one's better. Anyone know of a good app that checks any apps or processes running in the background?
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
Try watchdog.
[HTC Sensation] OctobersVeryOwn:
Ordered mine (ebay) Tuesday and got it Thursday. Waited for the stock batt to drain so I'm using it now on the first charge. Got the 2+charger for $22. Really you can't beat that.
[HTC Sensation] str8upx:
Which battery monitor app are you using? I have looked in the market and none that I can see allows you to change the max capacity setting.

Edit: my bad I just read your previous responses to this Q.
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Battery monitor widget. Read previous few pages, all info is here. Overriding capacity DOES NOT improve battery, it merely changes how BMW reads it and for it to report correct values.
[HTC Sensation] rockerode:
Just bought this battery. By what I"m hearing in the thread it's a perfect battery and makes the phone last infinitely longer. Thanks to everyone who put in these reviews!
[HTC Sensation] adil1992:
same here thanks everyone! :D
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
Cycle #3- Heavy use im on 11hrs..Phone is about to cut off. Been online all day constant text email calls couple vid calls YouTube, watched new Harry potter ebay zappos PayPal etc. I'm on 12%.

I'm impressed. Phone would have died 4hrs ago on oem
[HTC Sensation] Element515:
idk what they did to the anker battery or if htc left big gaps inside theirs but this anker last much longer. my phone will now last my work shift without me having to bring my charger in and have it plugged in
[HTC Sensation] cjm1979:
Exact same here. After taking off charge nearly 16 hours ago I've still got 25% after quite a bit of heavy use. The main thing I find with these batteries though us that the phone isn't accurate. If I reboot the phone it might jump 10% up.

I guess we need to be able to wipe battery stats.

Also last night I used my charger from my old Touch Pro 2 with the sensation lead and it seems to last longer.
[HTC Sensation] SplitCold:
You can wipe the battery stats, just use temp root its works.
[HTC Sensation] raysacr:
I really don't understand the point of "conditioning" or "cycling" these batteries. These modern days batteries are Lithium ion and do not require such condition. Typically cycling and conditioning only applies to only NiCa and NiMH batteries. Am I wrong???

Taken from batteryuniversity.com

"Lithium-ion is a very clean system and does not need formatting when new, nor does it require the level of maintenance that nickel-based batteries do. The first charge is no different than the fifth or the 50th. Formatting makes little difference because the maximum capacity is available right from the beginning. Nor does a full discharge improve the capacity once faded. In most cases, a low capacity signals the end of life. A discharge/charge may be beneficial for calibrating a “smart” battery, but this service only addresses the digital part of the pack and does nothing to improve the electrochemical battery. Instructions to charge a new battery for eight hours are seen as “old school” from the nickel battery days."
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
How do you wipe the battery stats?
[HTC Sensation] miniterror:
Can you share the screen on time?

And how many talks?

I think thos times are better to compare

Thanks for sharing mate:D
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
You are correct. Conditioning is misunderstood for battery stats. What happens is battery stats need to be built,so by fully charging and discharging phone for a few cycles improves the way phone reads battery. Example. If battery stats are wrong phone might indicate that battery is empty and shut down when in reality battery might still be 15%. Obviously because of that time when phone stays on decreases, hence "worse battery life". Hope that explanation is clear enough.
[HTC Sensation] ridikolous:
If your temp rooted. Download terminal emulator from market. Type su, then enter. Type rm /data/system/batterystats.bin then enter.
[HTC Sensation] OctobersVeryOwn:
So I put the anker in around 5pm on Friday & it finally died this mourning around 7am. Most of the time the phone was on wifi. Pretty light use, some browsing, social media, took a 2 min video, played music, and some light gaming.

38 hours on the first charge. I'll take that.

Put the stock batt back in at seven and went back to sleep for a few. In 3 hours standby it had dropped to 79%.
[HTC Sensation] barker1964:
On my second cycle and I talked for 8+ hours straight while using the internet playing a game and texting not bad at all Anker all the way.
[HTC Sensation] Mase_Mase:
Just ordered a 2 pack of the Ankers with a USB travel charger. I hope it works as well as it did for the other folks here!
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
Next rundown ill post. I'm on the charger now.
[HTC Sensation] raysacr:
The thing about battstats is, it's best to delete battstats, turn off phone and charge completely, and then turn on phone.
[HTC Sensation] azsl1326:
Is anyone seeing their temp go above 25°C? I have yet to see the Anker battery go above 25.2°C, where as the stock battery would get into the high 30's with heavy usage, i.e. game.
[HTC Sensation] NinetoFive:
So I'm guessing there's no way to get this as a Canadian, short of shipping it to a US postal box and going to get it?
[HTC Sensation] miniterror:
Muchias gracias:d
[HTC Sensation] barker1964:
Trust me well worth the trouble
[HTC Sensation] Hoggles:
I've had my Anker for about 4 days now.

Best $11 I've ever spent for an aftermarket cell phone product.

With Heavy/Moderate use I'm consistently getting 4-6 more hours than with stock. No doubt about it.

Being able to make it through an entire day without worry, is a great feeling.

I could care less if the "1900" is valid or not....the results speak for themselves.

By far though...THE BIGGEST advantage of this Anker is the temp. With the stock battery, as many have reported, it gets hot...really hot. 40c - 46c after playing 30 min of games, or heavy surfing. That can't be good over time for the internals of the phone.

This Anker barely even gets warmish even after prolonged gaming and or surfing, calls, you name it....STAYS COOL...! Huge difference that is worth every penny of that 11 bones I spent.

If you're on the fence about getting this battery...just do it. For the temp decrease alone, it's well worth it. ;)
[HTC Sensation] poopymt3g:
Anker back in stock @ 9.99

[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
do they have a uk ebay store? $10 for the battery! Well cheaper than what's on amazon uk.
[HTC Sensation] *damo*:
Wish they shipped to UK, but even if they did it would probably be quite expensive :(

HTC Swyped from my Sensation using XDA Premium
[HTC Sensation] madwolf27:
Ditto my experience EXACTLY. Seems to keep getting better.
[HTC Sensation] Sevent33n:
I bought my anker battery and got it like 3 days ago and never got around to putting it in. How long dose it take for it to last a noticeably longer time?
[HTC Sensation] ajwho:
Same size as stock, substantially longer battery life, and $10? Bought. Thanks to the early adopters who took the risk.
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
I was about to buy it for £8. Says free super saver delivery but look at the picture...

I select first class and it's the same £10.74

Anyone had this problem from the uk?

It's fullfilled by amazon and says that there is no minimum spend.
[HTC Sensation] JWhipple:
ROFL OMG It really is!!! Too funny!
[HTC Sensation] misterjimmy:
LOL Wow talk about being lucky for purchasing it for that price. lets just hope we get it now
[HTC Sensation] bandersnatch:
Lucky me

I don't even have my phone yet and I ordered one yesterday.... For $9.99!!!! (Insert happy dance icon here)
[HTC Sensation] JWhipple:
I just got my tracking number about an hour ago... Looks like there was a slight delay in shipping - I've got no problem with that for the savings.
[HTC Sensation] SplitCold:
Not sure how good but, its much cheaper: 2 or 3x 1800mAh Batteries & Charger $9 or $12.

ebay & search 1800 sensation
[HTC Sensation] Elchemist:
$60 for this battery even if the 1900 mah rating proves true is excessive.

While currently out of stock here is the option to buy direct from anker via amazon

http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0053EZJMC/?tag=onwebnet-20
[HTC Sensation] crisisinthecity:
This is a simple case of a greedy seller. Give me a break. There are other generic sensation batteries on Amazon.
[HTC Sensation] Elchemist:
You could be right. Maybe the seller saw their stock go from 30 to 5 in a matter of hours and figured they'd jack up the price for the last few to see if there are any takers.

When in stock I believe the amazon link I provided sells the battery for ~$14. Not as cheap as $10 but still very reasonable.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
looking at the sold history it seems they bumped it up $5 for a little bit, saw they were getting a profit & decided to see how high they could go
[HTC Sensation] misterjimmy:
Likewise pretty stoke to see this show up and hope its really helps out the battery life over what we have now. I can only go through almost half the day with this battery and most of the time i'm on conference calls.
[HTC Sensation] owlmatt:
Not sure how good these are but so cheap I thought I would buy one. I'll let you know my thoughts.
[HTC Sensation] macnewbie:
I contacted the ebay seller re: change in price and they said they had changed it to prevent people from ordering because they ran out of stock, and that as soon as they get a new shipment in the price will drop back.
[HTC Sensation] JWhipple:
Mine is showing "OUT FOR DELIVERY" - so - will start cycling it tonight.
[HTC Sensation] misterjimmy:
I just got my battery in the mail today so I'll start cycling it after work. I'll keep everyone posted as well on how this battery works out. if it can at least hold for a whole day with some average usage I think it was a good $10 I've invested.

here is some photos of the packaging in case people were wondering
[HTC Sensation] downey_ryan:
Hey everyone, I ordered one of these a few days ago. I've decided to stick with my Nexus One, though, so it's obviously not going to be of any use to me. If anyone's interested in buying it, let me know. I'm really just looking to recoup cost and pay for shipping.

Note that I paid the original $10 price.
[HTC Sensation] mbaran:
I'll take it off your hands. PM me.
[HTC Sensation] JWhipple:
Wow, that actually looks like REAL off-the-shelf retail packaging! Like something you'd pick up at Best Buy!
[HTC Sensation] SinisterGame:
so what exactly is the proper way to cycle a battery? i keep reading that Li's dont need to be conditioned at all and some are saying that only a few cycles are required and that the initial charge should be in the 8+ hours range? someone help a brotha out... thx
[HTC Sensation] misterjimmy:
for the most part I'm doing the normal 8hr full charge just to be safe. I'm sure the device is smart enough to know when to cut the charge when its full.
[HTC Sensation] misterjimmy:
your telling me I was caught by surprise when I opened the package thinking was just in a small plastic package and some chintzy card board box. presentation is one thing but like everyone, i'm more interested if it can deliver.
[HTC Sensation] durps:
To Nicky,

This happened to me, it does have free shipping, but you have to spend a certain amount before receiving the free shipping, here in the U.S. we have to spend at least 25usd on products. Even then, it has to be on items that qualify for the free shipping.

I suggest you get a car-mount or something as well.

Edit: just read the last part about seeing no minimum, maybe try clicking on the link on the right in the pic that says "why arent all my items eligible?"
[HTC Sensation] shady_character:
the same just happened for me even though i chose free delivery, looked into it further and you do have to spend minimum £25 .still not bad for a tenner:)
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
Think I might of misunderstood... XD

US get it soo much cheaper ><

Just noticed the Sensation is £420 on amazon. I paid £470!

Edit: bought it anyway... Hope it's as good as many says!
[HTC Sensation] cjm1979:
Yes I had this and I emailed Amazon and they said it was a system error and they refunded me the difference. I think I may of posted it in this thread. I think Tinky1 had the same problem too and they did the same and refunded postage.

I bought 2 but only really end up using one because it last's a lot longer than the stock one.

It gets nowhere near as warm as the stock battery like others have said too.
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
I'll have to email them...
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Yup, correct, they refunded me no prob at all.

Hi all :)

I grabbed a couple of Ankers from Amazon and am on 2nd use now.

On 1st use (100% charge) I was gaming for 30 mins listening to music for 4 hours 1 hour radio and some camera usage plus 40 mins of calls 20 texts and 30 mins browsing.

Came home 8 hours later with 65% charge remaining.

Good batteries!

I also Grabbed a couple of Chichitec's for comparison so that should be interesting :)

I will run the Anker for a week then I will try the Chichitec...

Battery weights on my scale:

Standard HTC 31g

Anker 34g

Chichitec 34g
[HTC Sensation] jaZzyjeff818:
I'm curious as to what the comparison will be between the Anker and Chichitec. Keep us posted please!
[HTC Sensation] OctobersVeryOwn:
I'm so happy with the anker I have shelfed the stock battery and will just use the 2 ankers from here on out.
[HTC Sensation] ridikolous:
Prolly only difference is the price.
[HTC Sensation] XXnut:
I'm inclined to agree however we are going to need proof and proof means testing :D
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
My friend has the chichi it gets about 3hrs more than the anker.
[HTC Sensation] theredundant:
can any kind soul get me an anker batt and ship it to australia pls? :>
[HTC Sensation] Narsilius:
Does the phone "know" that it has a 1900mAh battery and will it charge it to full capacity or just until 1520?
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
I don't think it matters, it will charge until it's reached full voltage and then cut, both the stock and the chichi or anker is the same voltage :)

So it should charge to full
[HTC Sensation] azsl1326:
I have had the Anker for about a week and am getting about 36 hours out of a charge. Today, I am at 52% remaining, unplugged for 27 hours on average/moderate use.
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
Just received mine. Had 60% on it and had it on for two hours. Now has 52%

Will need a few days.

Im charging now and its stuck on 99%

Been like that for 30 mins...

[HTC Sensation] JawjaBill:
I don't have any stats and not going to collect any. I do believe Anker is setting themselves up for a lawsuit by the Energizer people because it keeps going and going and going ...

... and it doesn't make my hand sweat under heavy usage.
[HTC Sensation] poopymt3g:
Just got mine today...its taking a ****load of netflix to drain this thing from the %70 it had.
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
Yea, I got 12 hours from 60% that was on it. Display was on for around 3 hours.
[HTC Sensation] Mase_Mase:
I've gotta say that yes, I'm getting more battery life but I'm only getting about 10 or 11 hours per work day. I'm a pretty heavy user with push notification, WiFi on, background data sync, texts, calls and heavy web browsing.

Does anyone else run this hard and if so what's your Anker battery life looking like? One thing that seems to kill my battery when checking usage is my display. I usually keep brightness at 50% but I'll try it with auto adjust and see how that goes.
[HTC Sensation] pr0x2:
Can anyone from the UK please sell these at normal prices on ebay and ship to Europe. There is one guy selling them but he is asking like 50euro lol.

Thanks :P
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
Third charge...

EDIT: Also, I noticed the temperature hardly moves or goes above 25 degrees celcius... The stock averages around 35 degrees. Is it a bug? or does the anker REALLY run cooler?/
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
Doesn't amazon uk ship to your country?
[HTC Sensation] pr0x2:
This item is not in amazon warehouse but direct from seller. And the seller only ships to UK.
[HTC Sensation] evo9mrjr:

Has any one recd a use guide with batt... i ordered from Ebay US i got only 2 batt n charger sealed properly...but no use guide...if sm1 has ..can u plz upload the guide.... and also i wonder....as basic electronics every charging circuit is made for a specific mah. do u think sensation charging circuit is powerful enough for these custom batteries?
[HTC Sensation] shorty87:
There is no users guide. You really shouldn't need one. You can use that charger to charge the battery. Or put the battery in your phone and begin using it. I've been using this battery over a week now and have not seen any problems charging/discharging in my phone.
[HTC Sensation] predator21:
Thankx for reaply bro....what does battaery widget reports the voltage...mine says 1580 mah...ackward
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
It's because the kernel tells battery monitor it, its the default :)
[HTC Sensation] qw_haoyun:
so expensive ，no need thanks
[HTC Sensation] Christopher3712:
I just ordered 2 ankers with the USB charger. Thanks guys.
[HTC Sensation] claud_face:
Got mine yesterday. Was at about 60 percent around 6 o clock pm. Then I didn't really use phone rest of day and night and when I woke up at like 10 30 am it was at like 30 percent. I figured that's not too good, but then I looked at current draw of 250+ mah non stop and in that case that's like having your screen on non stop for 16 in a half hours.

Obviously I gotta figure why its draining so bad but that's surely a easy fix.

The important thing is this battery is amazing so far.
[HTC Sensation] stuart0001:
Battery logs don't accurately report standby current yet
[HTC Sensation] claud_face:
Well that's unfortunate. In that case this anker may be nothing better than stock if not worse for me.
[HTC Sensation] avi018:
I think i am going for a Anker battery :D
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
Got rid of my OEM the anker is more reliable than that.
[HTC Sensation] cybertarian:
policy is just policy...

this seller dont even post the item to ireland...

i wrote a letter to amazon...

just quoted from the reply from amazon:

"

[HTC Sensation] picachux:
Should have mine in my hands by tomorrow. On OEM battery I have been getting 11-12hrs on my normal use day before it gets to 25% and 15-16hrs when I hardly pick it up except for a few txt, tweets and searches.
[HTC Sensation] Jimx2:
I've had this battery for weeks now and it's amazing. My phone last me 19-26hrs on moderate to heavy use.
[HTC Sensation] arjen888:
Are these batteries good to go? I really need some spare batteries. Only thing, it cant be shipped to the netherlands :( does anyone knows where to order?
[HTC Sensation] heygrl:
Deleting battery stats @ 100% and letting it discharge and charge again increased battery life of my Anker battery as well.
[HTC Sensation] claud_face:
Do you need a temp root to delete battery stats?
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Yes
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Same would happen if you repeatedly drained and charged battery for quite a few cycles.
[HTC Sensation] heygrl:
I had it for a week prior and it was static.
[HTC Sensation] ctscloud:
Purchased one off eBay last night. Hopefully it'll make the phone last a bit longer!:P
[HTC Sensation] predator21:
I bet it does.... really really cool....
[HTC Sensation] claud_face:
I only used anker two charge cycles and unlike most of you I see no improvement. So, I decided to keep the chichitec and try it out and see if its maybe my phone if there's no difference here either.
[HTC Sensation] warpig1957:
Been using an Anker battery for about a week now and it's absolutely no different to the stock one apart from I don't think the phone gets as hot. Certainly doesn't last any longer in normal day to day use. I sometimes think it's worse than the stock battery.
[HTC Sensation] sleeping_apocalypse:
Anker a best buy, got from amazon for £10. Using it over a week now without any battery widget and it definitely lasts way longer than stock battery. It is heavier than stock, you can feel it very first moment but cover fits pretty well. I fully discharged it only once but still works really fine. Charged it to 90% at 7:37 am moderate use including data and wifi for 2-3 hours, few phone calls and texts, 3-4 applications install/ remove and restarted - evening 8:20 pm 56%. Stock would have been dead twice by now. Brightness - auto

Stock ROM

and guess why didnt i discharge it again - COZ ITS A PAIN IN ITSELF :)
[HTC Sensation] picachux:
Got mine about an hour ago. Looks like nice quality build, definitely heavier than OEM and maybe slightly thicker. But what really has stood out so far in my short time is the temp difference from OEM. OEM you could easily feel it getting warm on light usage.
[HTC Sensation] vinas1:
Same here, the Anker 1900mAh battery is about 1mm thicker and almost 3grams heavier. The body is made out of ALU as opposed to the plastic OEM battery, hence it runs much much cooler.

I also noticed the battery stays at 100% for the first 2 hours. It's like I get a free 2 hours off the top over the OEM battery.

Over all for the very little money spent, this was a very solid purchase.
[HTC Sensation] claud_face:
I'm hoping once we get s off we could change the kernel to read the battery as 1900 so that it doesn't stay like that on top but drains evenly.

If that's how it works?
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
I'm still getting good use out of my battery. Already got rid of my oem may be getting another but also may try the chichi as well
