Make sure you fully cycle the battery, especially the first time. Expect a few full charge/discharge cycles to gain maximum performance!

I see people are getting well over 12 hours of battery life, but how much of that is actual screen on time?

im using one in my htc desire hd and dont really get any more juice from stock battery, dunno weather to get one for my sensation?
[HTC Sensation] KCuadrado:
I get that with about 2-3.5 hours screen time. It all depends on WiFi or mobile data strength.

[HTC Sensation] /devnull:
It definitely is highly dependent on the strength of both your WiFi and cellular signals as well as how much your display is on and how much of the time your phone (CPU) is on. GPS on is not so much of a big consumer unless you're using navigation. Bluetooth typically isn't a big energy consumer either. I get about the same amount time for the display being on, sometimes more.
[HTC Sensation] zerone55:
I have a question regarding these batteries. Using a fully charged battery, do you guys see batt% at 100% for first couple of hours and then once it starts dropping, it decreases quicker. I am guessing that's because of higher capacity than stock battery and some calibration is needed.

What app or method do yo use to calibration? Will it also fix the batt%?
[HTC Sensation] /devnull:
Yeah, I've had that sudden drop happen to me. When it does I take that as a cue to fully charge and discharge my battery (with fast boot disabled).

I haven't bothered to calibrate my battery. Really that is a misnomer, you're really calibrating the operating system since the percentage available is based on the voltage reading from the battery.

I use Battery Monitor Widget to monitor the battery stats. If you have a rooted phone then wipe the battery stats.

After reading other comments about the excellent customer service at laptopmate, i thought i would see if they would do anything with my faulty battery which is out if the warranty period.

All the comments are spot on. Their service is excellent and they are sending out a replacement to me without me even suggesting it. I just asked if there was anything that I could do to repair the faulty battery.

So now i will reccomend them 100% and hope that the replacement doesn't become faulty too!:D

I have great massage for people who wants to get Anker and can't do it, because live outside USA or UK. There is a seller on eBay named "valuebattery", they sell Sensation battery for only $5,99 plus $1,99 worldwide shipping. It's supposed to be 1700 mAh, but it has the same numbers as Anker and Chichitec cells. So I think that it might be the same battery with different label. I bought one and after few days I'm very happy with its capacity - it's about 30% better than stock.

Doesn't make any sense anker is 1900mah so they can't be as much as ankers...

Sent From My Sexy Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] /devnull:
Quite welcome! :) let us know how it works out. Remember, it will take between 3 and 5 full cycles to reach maximum capacity. You should see gradual improvements, generally from one cycle to the next. Also, with the Anker battery, don't expect to get temperature readings from the battery as the Anker doesn't provide that says. I go by what I feel and with my Anker my phone has been much cooler to the touch compared to the stock battery.
[HTC Sensation] Gho57:
Amazon has this anker battery, but how about temperature sensor?
[HTC Sensation] /devnull:
Anker definitely does not have a temperature sensor. Not sure but the Chichitech might

Anker claim it's 1900 mAh, but according to xda members is closer to 1700-1750 mAh.

[HTC Sensation] tenchu_712:
is it worth to upgrade from 1730 mah sensation xe battery to anker battery?
[HTC Sensation] jizzajam:
there is speculation as to the actual capacity of the anker battery, 1900mah would be 25% increase over the stock 1520. it definitely seems to me like i get 25% more use. if a stock battery would last me from 8am to 6pm the anker will get me to 8 or 9, that seems to correlate with the advertised capacity difference.

they are cheap enough that i think they are a worthwhile investment

He has posted a screenshot of the the battery when running it through battery management app.

How should i go about charging it when i get it ? Just put it in the phone and use it as normal or is there some sort of thing you have to do ? charge it, drain it and then charge it etc.

Cheers

When i got mine, it was already at 67%, i charged it to 100%, and will drain it and charge x 4/5 times and see how it goes.
[HTC Sensation] /devnull:
Lithium Ion batteries are never shipped fully charged or depleted due to the specific chemistry. Likewise, they should never be put in storage for extended periods of time fully charged or depleted.

Fully charge the new battery. Once it is, leave it to charge for another hour. Drain it completely (turn fast boot off). Repeat several times.

Question.

Just Ordered anker a pack of two with a charger too...

Guys need your suggestion, Best way to use them..?? Should i store one anker n use the other one..??

Will storing storing one anker and the stock battery spoil them..?

Can anyone suggest me the best way to juice out maximum from a pack of two anker..?? :confused:
[HTC Sensation] cssoz:
Best way to use them I would say is by swaping them. Use one for a week or 2 weeks then switch them around.

Storing the manual will tell you what temperature to store in.

Turn on GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, etc and surf the web!

[HTC Sensation] ziddey:
It seems I can't get the battery calibration right. With my Ankers, it tends to stay at 100% for a few hours, and then start dropping steadily. With the OEM, it drops from the start.
[HTC Sensation] cssoz:
Did you fully charged and fully drained the battery 5 times yet?

On the 6th charge at 100% (turn the phone OFF when charging)

2. As soon as it's fully charged take the battery out of the phone. Leave it out for 180 seconds.

3. Put it can it back in. Turn your phone on.

4. It should work properly.

I personally do this to my (anker) phone when I'm bored or once a week or a month.

Sent w/ HTC Sensation 4G (Z710a) XDA Premium
[HTC Sensation] ziddey:
Yeah, I've seen at least 15 charges by now. It hanging at 100% and then dropping isn't the big deal. It's the trickle charge that's the problem. It takes forever since it thinks it's close to full when it's not. Will try that next time.

At least it's better than my last Android that I got cheap ebay batteries for. No matter the calibration, they'd die at around 30% left.

[HTC Sensation] aznprodgy:
finally decided to try Anker after previously using a Mugen in my other phone. stock battery life sucked in the Sensation...had to switch! got the Anker on Saturday and followed the directions for best performance in the manual. Battery life went from 8-9hrs to 13-14hrs with heavy use. Im guessing that the battery life will get better after a few cycles after flashing ARHD, but for now I am very satisfied with the results. Im a moderate user anyway so itll be nice to see the 20+ hour range again :)
[HTC Sensation] :
That seems about right, light use I just about always get 48 hours. Been using Anker for 9 months now, in fact I only had my stock battery for two weeks before swapping in an Anker.

Not had any of the bull**** issues you hear about either :)
[HTC Sensation] rbnhan89:
battery works great, too bad i got it for 17 bucks. price is still worth it..... ARDH or VI ROM + Anker 1900 = :D
[HTC Sensation] reaper_07:
Even i keep swapping both batteries. As soon as one runs out, i swap it for the other. So i've been using only the external anker charger.

I was consistently getting 1d+

I recently rooted my phone, flashed ARHD 6.6.4 (cpu overclocked to 1.5 ghz). Took a couple of days to re-calibrate, but i'm happy to say that battery times are back to 1d+ :D
[HTC Sensation] zooster:
Same here, I add that the mah is not reported correctly, it was still 1580 and I had to put manually 1900, strange because it's supposed to be auto discovered afaik.
[HTC Sensation] Raven2k:
Anker vs Mugen Power 1950?

Anyone tried the Mugen-power 1950 battery?

its 41$ (!!!) but if it is much better than the anker 1900 it might be worth it!
[HTC Sensation] ziddey:
depends on your definition of much better. Imagine how many Ankers you could have for $41.
[HTC Sensation] Raven2k:
Well, I'm talking pure performance. I'm not into switching batteries in the middle of the day, and I do not mind paying the extra if the gain is significant.
[HTC Sensation] ziddey:
You'd be better off making a battery belt with a 90 degree microusb plug. Plug the phone in and put it in your holster / pocket. Keeps the ****er charged. Do a full belt battery and you could go for a week+ easy.

If the usb is too much of a hassle / won't stay on, the next step would be to mod a case and holster / pocket mat so it charges wirelessly. (powermat style)

I just wanted to post my experience with this battery.

When i first got the battery i ran 11 hours on it with no charges and a fair amount of use all day. After about 2 and half months with the battery, it started acting strange. I would go from 100% straight to 70 or 60s. It would randomly reboot and then recharge back to 80. It would repeatedly do this but as of lately it stopped.

I dont know if this is a battery issue or not but for some reason, after charge it never hits 100%, only 99. Sometimes it does but when its at 99, after a restart, it hits back to a 100. On some random days, after heavy use, the battery stays at 100% even after an hour. So the battery is pretty sporadic in performance for me.
