Some great comparative analysis here of the Anker battery performance versus Stock:

http://support.t-mobile.com/thread/9067?tstart=0
[HTC Sensation] Cown:
Just recieved mine today, let the testing begin :)
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
Been thru a few charging cycles and this batt is much better than the oem! I'm getting about 30% longer usage and the batt does not get as hot! More to comee...
[HTC Sensation] zuperxero:
Been using this battery for almost a month now. I'm running insertcoins Rom and I've been getting great battery life.
[HTC Sensation] bryanpen:
check this out

i bought a replacement battery for a G2 last year from ebay and it was supposed to be a 1500 mah battery, 200 more than the stock. Something told me to peel back the label and i was pissed to find out that it was a 1200mah battery! seller got instant negative feedback cuz i was pissed off about being deceived like that. so i know you wont wanna ruin the battery but check under the label because they lie through thier ass sometimes.:mad:
[HTC Sensation] olyloh6696:
Really?!

I made a thread in the G2 forum about the same battery. Because it fits in the Desire S aswell. Guess I won't be getting it then!

Oddly though, the reviews are very positive for the 1500mah G2 battery

They do have a 1600mah one though.. wonder what the real capacity is!
[HTC Sensation] sstanton86:
I'm unsure as to what I think about my Anker battery. I really haven't noticed much if a difference over stock.

The other weird thing is some battery app from the market was reading mine as 1580 mah, I'm kinda hoping it just read it wrong.

I usually lose between 5-10% an hour.

I ended up buying a powerskin to counter-act it. And its awesome.

Any ideas how I can get my Anker more efficient?
[HTC Sensation] Gunkk:
1580 is low, most studies show 1700-1800 mAh.

5-10% /hr is normal for active usage, but very high for idle/sleeping.

System Tuner, Watchdog, BetterBatteryStats

(one word) are all good for I'D'ing power hogs. Also type *#*#4636#*#* in phone dialer and try different radio modes if your signal is weak causing high drain.

Sent from my Energy Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] masondoctorjt:
Yeah, batty monitor widget identifies it as 1580, but I'm sure that's inaccurate. I definitely get better life than that.
[HTC Sensation] peterc10:
Yep it sure is inaccurate. At one time it told me my Anker battery had a capacity of over 3200mAh. I wish ..........
[HTC Sensation] illthrill:
After reading all the great reviews about this battery, I finally decided to order one from eBay.

So I ordered a 2 pack of this battery (one for a friend) on eBay from laptopmate_usa:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330625814815#ht_4665wt_1163

I couldn't wait to get home when I checked the tracking number and saw it was delivered. I charged the battery for four hours and pulled it out (of the wall charger) after (the LED was blue).

Now to be honest...I'm highly disappointed. My original battery sucked and this one made no difference. It was 100% from 12AM til i woke up at 7. After that, once I started commuting to work, the battery started draining quickly. I keep mobile network on for email and weather syncing with the screen on auto-brightness. I listen to 2 hours of music until i get to work at 9 and by then my battery will usually be on 55%. Old battery, new battery...same deal.

I've read that you should let it discharge and recharge 3-4 times but I didn't think it would discharge at the same rate as my original.

I'm starting to think its my handset. I've done a hard reset and only have a few apps installed. Any suggestions? Anyone experience similar issues?
[HTC Sensation] olyloh6696:
Just try waiting after 3-4 test!

Battery life on first charge of any brand new.battery sucks!

Just wait for a bit then report back!
[HTC Sensation] illthrill:
Will do...
[HTC Sensation] luthr0n:
off topic in a way , what is the largest battery you can put in without modding the case.

I might pick some of these up just in case as you can't beat the price.
[HTC Sensation] masondoctorjt:
Now check out what it says the measured mAh is... 11515mAh!! Ha! I wish!
[HTC Sensation] Gunkk:

[HTC Sensation] cubitusclaudius:
how many cycles? one or two are unsufficient! i'm reaching 2'400 now and I thing after a few more cycles it wil go down to 1'900
[HTC Sensation] silentsnow31802:
Assuming the Mugen for the EVO 3D is actually 1950 then that one. The Anker is actually a 1700mah battery and the Sensation XE, EVO 3D stock battery is 1730mah. They all fit without modification.
[HTC Sensation] iGoOsE76:
The anker is a great back up battery. I use it on my sensation and the amaze.. although the sensations battery rates .3.7v and the amaze is 3.8v, the battery will fit ..
[HTC Sensation] masondoctorjt:
It was just one since I paid for the pro widget.
[HTC Sensation] cubitusclaudius:
so you'd better wait for two or 3 full cycles. empty under 5% and fill it completely (wait 1 hour 1/2 after reaching 100%)
[HTC Sensation] soggyflakes:
What's the correct stats to put into battery monitor widget to calibrate this battery, im rooted on cm7 with tiamat kernal and have been having bad luck with no matter what rom/kernal combo I've used

Could I have a faulty phone or battery or just haven't found the right combo yet?
[HTC Sensation] Gunkk:
I use 1700 for my Anker. It will set itself after a few days. Bricked kernel seems to have the best battery life. And I like the eye candy or Energy ROM. <1% usage per hr when sleeping with the Anker.

Sent from my Bricked Energy Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] heyjoe66:
my Anker battery dies on ~3.3V. I'm sure this is not right.

It's not a Android system normal shut down, it just dies on 13%, or even 27%.

on stock battery phone shuts down on ~3.1V with the same kernel
[HTC Sensation] marvelspires:
my chichitec the same thing happens! Battery *****, starting to bellow evo 3d 1950mha
[HTC Sensation] cubitusclaudius:
Do you have "Battery monitor " from Market? Calibrate to 1750 or 1900. Maybe you'll get better results.
[HTC Sensation] heyjoe66:
isn't that values for Battery monitor's internal use only ?
[HTC Sensation] cubitusclaudius:
I don't think so. For example, if I say my Anker battery is 2800mAh and I reboot at 80%, I get 56% battery after reboot. If I define 1700mAh I get after reboot 82%

That's why I suppose it's not innocent.
[HTC Sensation] ts-ascii:
i have just orderd my Anker 1900.

will arrive tomorrow and than we will how it works
[HTC Sensation] mdpgc:
After about 3 weeks of having and using this battery, I'm getting roughly 1d7h of use according to BMW Pro. Excellent considering with the stock, I was getting roughly 12-14hrs.
[HTC Sensation] Peikko:
For the Anker 1900 mAh battery there is no need to change anythinkg at the stock backcover, right?
[HTC Sensation] emanrov:
Nope, same size as original. (+~0.5mm thick, doesn't matter)
[HTC Sensation] mulawingalang:
Just ordered one too. I'm excited to test it out on my Sensation. :)
[HTC Sensation] jriv:
Im having problems with my anker im running latest hypersensation and my battery life is terrible and when I reboot it will give me a different percentage . Ill be at 80% then i'll reboot and be at 48% whats my problem

sent from a guy living in a van down by the river
[HTC Sensation] cubitusclaudius:
it's a little bit complicated. Are you running Battery monitor widget? Anyhow, don't get afraid and be patient. the best is to complete 2 or 3 full charge/discharge cycles.

I got the same first day with my Anker battery.
[HTC Sensation] jjdoctor:
hey guys. I got my Anker battery today. what should I do first? discharge it fully until phone is dead or charge full first. need some instructions. charge for how many hours initialy?
[HTC Sensation] krugm0f0:
I like it a lot!

I ordered this on eBay the day after I got my Sensation. Using it as my main battery and keeping the stock battery in reserve when I need more juice and are unable to reach a charger.

Superb battery!
[HTC Sensation] jjdoctor:
can someone help me with first time instructions? fully charge first or fully discharge first?
[HTC Sensation] brilldoctor:
I'm fully charging mine
[HTC Sensation] cubitusclaudius:
first full charge it and keep it on charge 1-2 hours more, and the 2/3 full cycles discharge/charge, and that's it
[HTC Sensation] jjdoctor:
thanks guys... tell me

1. do I have to delete battery stats when charged to 100% and then unplug charger..right?

2. battery getting warm while charging.. slightly warmer than stock.. is that normal?

3. lastly.. should I drain battery until phone dies automatically or just charge again when it reaches 2-3% ? I heard battery can damage if fully killed...

sorry for asking too many questions but I really want to follow the right procedure to come to a conclusion...
[HTC Sensation] cubitusclaudius:
1. yes.

2. mine is cooler, but maybe first time?

3. phone turns off before completely empty. do that only 2-3 times. then for lithium batteries, its better not full discharge. even half charge is better, I think.
[HTC Sensation] PsicheAlCubo:
Hey Guys, I just got my Anker's double pack :D I'm charging the first battery with its own charger and I was thinking about selling the second one so..

I see that a bunch of people have asked for it so, if anybody there is still in need of an Anker Battery, I can provide it easily ;)

I'll be reporting my results in a week or two..!
[HTC Sensation] maf2003:
anyone else phone freezing on the anker battery. I have 2 and both freeze my phone up at random times. I let my friend with a Mytouch 4g Slide try it out and it works for him with no problem. I have SENSEaY rom and bricked 1.45 test 499. On stock battery my phone does well and i get great battery life. just wanted to see if anyone else had the same problem.
[HTC Sensation] jjdoctor:
First charge

Phone On battery 12hrs 13 mins

Display On time. 4hr 32 mins (auto brightness)

voice calls: 21 mins

20 text messages

WiFi on: 2 hr 36 mins ( used WiFi heavily during on)

11 mins of full HD video recording.

Battery is dead...

is better results than my stock but is it good considering I have low signal issues?

or should I wait for more cycles..
[HTC Sensation] jjdoctor:
2nd cycle and this battery sucks...

only 2 hrs of display on with 15 mins of gaming and remaining time browsing net via WiFi and battery down to 35%...

total on battery 3 hrs..

using bricked kernel with ARHD 4.1.5
[HTC Sensation] LPChris47:
Does anybody know if the HTC Amaze 4G battery fits in the Sensation 4G?

I don't wanna start a thread for such a simple question. Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] jjdoctor:
I take back my words.. :)

Buttery has been awesome since i flashed Stock rooted by EddyOS.. something was wrong with the kernel

Here are my stats after 3rd time charging

On battery 11hrs 13 mins

Display On time. 3hr 5 mins

voice calls: 34 mins

10 text messages

WiFi on: 2 hr 36 mins ( used WiFi for browsing)

Battery is still 51%..
[HTC Sensation] ak29:
That's really good. I just got my battery today. It's running really cool even after playing 3d games. I think it's too early to report battery life yet. Which rom are u using the sense 3.0 version or sense 3.5?
[HTC Sensation] jjdoctor:
It runs much cooler than stock battery

Well its getting amazing, at end of third charge i have these results

On battery: 15 hrs 27 mins

Display on time : 5 hrs 43 mins ( 90% time it was on lowest brightness)

Voice calls: 39 mins

Wifi: 4 hrs 32 mins (90% time i did Web browsing)

No video streaming, no games, no data.

In picture you can see my signals cut out frequently..3% time it was No signals. Remaining you can see i get low signals.(2-3 bars) 50% of the time. if i had good reception, i could have got a much better battery life..

I am using EddyOS stock rooted ROM v4... Its 2.3.5 with sense 3.5

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1281040

.. Its stock kernel with no tweaks,no underclockings and no task killers..

For me i would say i got atleast 30% improvement than stock battery... Now i can plug out of charge in morning make one day and comfortably charge at night before sleep...:)
[HTC Sensation] ErrorInLogic:
Excellent value, can't beat it for the price.
[HTC Sensation] bradmill08:
This battery is amazing. I get 20 + hours on normal usage. And 2 days on little use. Can't beat the price. I got the 2 batteries and charger for $27. 99
[HTC Sensation] xperia_x10:
I have been using the Anker battery for 2 weeks now , I have much better battery life after 4-5 charge cycles,in the begining it was lasting the same as stock battery . By my observations you get around 20-25% more battery than stock.
[HTC Sensation] aj_333:
Definitely a good value.

I know my usage is almost non existent but doing exactly the same with the stock battery got me a day and a half tops.

And make sure you give it a few full charge/discharge cycles. My first through third cycles happened over 3 or 4 days, but my 4th full charge is going to last nearly that long.
[HTC Sensation] xixoxix:
I ordered a week ago. I can't wait to get my hand on one to test and review!
[HTC Sensation] mdpgc:
After a month of using the battery with 14% left and phone has been on since 7am yesterday.
[HTC Sensation] jjdoctor:
I am sorry i didn't get you... did you mean the battery had started to die after one month of use?
[HTC Sensation] ak29:
Very impressed so far. My battery hasn't died yet. Its been off the charger for 31 hours and battery still has 36% remaining. I haven't even calibrated the battery yet with 5 charging cycles. This is all with light usage though, ARHD 3.6.2, 1.41r bricked.
[HTC Sensation] miniterror:
hi guys,

i have my anker a couple of months now and it sorta looks likes my batt life is degrading form this battery.

i looked up this app: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1024867

there it says a full charge is approx 4200mv.

does this also count for the anker batt?

what kind of mv are you guys getting from it when youre batt is full?

thanks i advance
[HTC Sensation] jjdoctor:
Mine is just 1 week old and when fully charged it shows 4181mv... and when leave on charger for long then i get 4211 or something...

But i noticed one thing... when you get green led while charging, then charge for another hour coz when i do that then my battery gives longer life compared to when i unplug immediately when buttery shows fully charged...
[HTC Sensation] miniterror:
thanks mate,

i always charge it overnight when im sleeping so that should be enough:p

i just installed it today and i got 4185 so i geuss im good then:p

will keep a eye out and reset the batt stats when i also come above the 4211 after a while of charging
[HTC Sensation] jjdoctor:
Actually overnight charge can't give u idea coz when your battery reaches value above 4200, charging stops and charger takes over the phone for power and in the mean time battery level comes down below 4200 even when its plugged in. After a while when battery comes down a little more charging starts again... You never know what time u r noting values when battery is in active charge or just plugged in..

Its just my observation... Don't know if i am right or wrong..
[HTC Sensation] mark1316:
I would love to try this and join in the discussion but I'm in th UK and can't seem to find anyone selling these over here. Anyone fancy buying one and sending it over ?
[HTC Sensation] peterc10:

At the moment they are at £16.99 for two batteries plus a charger, or £13.99 for one battery and a charger, or £11.99 for one battery and no charger. All showing free supersaver delivery.

After purchasing the battery about a month go, and after initial charging and conditioning the battery, I'm getting those results (charging Thursday night, turned the phone on at 7am Friday, running out of battery life after 1d17hrs (Saturday night) with medium use)!

[HTC Sensation] dannyc1976:
Hello I order this battery for $10 us seller about a week ago and yesterday I used an application on the market that reads the battery mah and it shows that this battery only charges up to 1580 mah.

I email the seller and he told me that he is out of stock and the company he bought it from told him is a 1900 MAH battery. I was told by him to return it, but I notice his price went up.

Has anyone check the mah of this battery to be 1900?

I may be wrong but i think that app could be reading your battery wrong.

But i just ordered mine on amazon from CHICHITEC, i wish i could have made it overnight or at least 2 day shipping but oh well!

Will report back with my findings

Looks like you got a right bargain.

Mines been fulfilled by the same company but they have put the price up. £8.49 each plus £3.34 delivery, so its £20.32 for two of them, as even at that price they are worth it. I had an official htc 1520mah on back order from Play.com for over 2 weeks. Im glad it was out of stock now so i could cancel and get these.

still $60... and people are buying! :confused:

5 more quantity just put up by the seller.

raised the price due to being out of stock my ass!

Seriously I wouldnt even bother with the Anker go with the CHICHITEC 1900 for the sensation, they have excellent reviews from users on these forms (myself included) and havent heard anything bad about them before.

Well I got meself one from Amazon, it arrived Friday and it states in the instructions to let it flatten right down 4 - 5 times before generel use.

If im installing roms, texting, calling people and some internet usage, I get about 14 hours out of them. Thats alot better then stock batterys considering I was only getting about 6 - 7 hours if I was doing all the same stuff.

I just bought one of these on Amazon for $15. I am amazed - 24 hours off-charger, and I still have 50% battery left. I used to get 6-12 hours max with my old battery. That kind of makes me believe that my "old" battery was bad although it was only 2-3 months old.

Anyway, I would buy one of these in a heard beat again.
