Anker 1800 mAh

Has anyone tried the Anker 1800 mAh battery for EVO 3D on a Sensation? I know the evo batteries are compatiable and you can buy 2 of those for 15.99 instead of 1 1900 mAh battery for the same price. Is there any performance numbers of the 1800 mAh vs the 1900 mAh?
[HTC Sensation] SonnyBBQ:
Well that is probably why you don't see an improvement.

HTC Sensation battery = 1520mAh

HTC Sensation XE battery = 1730mAh

Anker battery says 1900mAh, but is measured at +- 1740mAh

stock vs anker

heres my comparison of the two batteries. very similar usage. let it drain till turned off and fully charged before doing the test for both batteries. no gaming (too many variables), some web browsing, lots of texts. always on lowest brightness. settings in my signature

stock

1 day 9 hr 55 min

display 48% 2 hr 30 min

cell standby 17%

voice call 15% 17 min

phone idle 15%

anker

2 days 2 hr 30 min

display 44% 2 hr 32 min

cell standby 23%

voice call 8% 10 min

phone idle 20%

screen on time would have been even longer for anker if not for the idle battery drain which is ~12% overnight (9 hrs). very good results id say. hope this helps you guys decide
[HTC Sensation] rickyjune:
the rom is XE the battery is stock:cool:
[HTC Sensation] Aegishua:
My advice is to honestly go with a Mugen battery. They may cost a bit more but sometimes you get lucky and get one like mine.

And yes.. the battery is reporting at 2922mAh from Battery Monitor Widget.
[HTC Sensation] rickyjune:
how do u get battery monitor to measure it:confused:
[HTC Sensation] zhiland:
I just wanted to throw my 2 bits in there.

I purchased 2 batts w/ the charger for 24$ shipped. The week before and the 3 days I waited for them to ship I recorded the kind of life I got with the OEM

OEM I unplugged in the morning at 4.30, I usually listen to about 4 hours of streaming 4g music and do some light texting and web browsing. By the time 8 or 9 am rolls around the battery is at 5%. Then I would recharge at my desk and it had enough battery without listening to music to get me through till around 8 pm, sitting basically idle. When no music is involved I got around 10 hours with light texting and web browsing.

I got the 1900's and popped em in. They are a bit heavier but dont cause any issues fitting in the phone. I made no adjustments to settings as far as changing the mah. The one I popped in had about 60% life in it, I did 5 full discharges and recharges over the 5 days I have had it. I also installed Battery Monitor.

The difference is amazing, on my first discharge / charge the phone lasted a good 4 hours longer listening to music. I was amazed. I had to wait to get home from my work day to charge it back up. While at home after it charged I let it sit unplugged over night, I woke up to a 92% battery, went to work with music, and ended the 8 hour day with a 4% battery. When I'm not listening to music The 1900 will go a solid 20 hours of texting with only wifi and light web browsing, where OEM would be gone in around 10.

TD;LR - Buy it
[HTC Sensation] taffypride:
I have a problem with Battery Monitor Widget and the Anker 1900mAh battery on ICS and wondered if anyone else can double check for me.

The battery reports its size as 1580mAh not 1900mAh however it does last a hell of a lot longer then the standard battery
[HTC Sensation] TheStigx:
Just got my anker battery, right now my phone is in reapir, but when I get back I will report back ;)
[HTC Sensation] masondoctorjt:
My Anker has reported that high using battery monitor widget also.

Just ordered the CHICHITEC as well... thanks all, for the tip!
[HTC Sensation] :
CHICHITEC IS Horrible

...They had one set for the Mytouch 4G...Included 1 charger and 2 batteries... i bought it and it came with a broken charger (lighting didn't work..took 7hrs to charge battery then charger died) and one of the batteries was leaking....The 2nd battery lasted all of 2 weeks before it died after heating my MyTouch 4g to like 117 degrees Fahrenheit. I paid like $35 for the set and they wouldn't even respond to ME or Amazon themselves for a refund at all...So I got stuck..I hate them. Would never buy from them again.
[HTC Sensation] owlmatt:
My chicchitec is on the way. The combination of that battery and my g2 running cm7 gave me amazing battery life. Will test it and let you know.
[HTC Sensation] JWhipple:
As the OP of this thread I feel it important that I notify everyone that with light to medium use, I am pulling 25 hours of use out of this Anker battery.

Of course, your mileage may very!!
[HTC Sensation] hurrpancakes:
How much were you getting using the stock battery?
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
That's not great. I get that with same usage on stock battery. How many hours do you get with same usage on stock battery ?
[HTC Sensation] Supertorpez:
Hi

Someone know any website to buy one of this batteries in Spain?? Because I'm too interested in one of this bateries for my HTC Sensation but in all sites don't send to Spain.

Very good job, regards.
[HTC Sensation] Rubman:
I would really like this battery but can't find it anywhere to buy in the Netherlands, anyone know of a place?
[HTC Sensation] yourpassenger:
Anker battery arrived today. Will charge it for a few cycles over the next few days and post my results.

Is there any way of finding out if the battery is genuinely 1900mAh?

[HTC Sensation] cjm1979:
Just thought id let you know that i noticed id picked super saver delivery and so it should of been free. I emailed Amazon last night and got a reply saying it was a mistake and i should not of been charged delivery and they are refunding it.
[HTC Sensation] EyeAndroid:
I just ordered one of the chichitec batteries. Because I saw like 5 people say it was a good brand and a reputable company, but only one person had a bad experience, I'm more of a half full kind of guy. So I'm gonna be positive. Plus I can't wait for the anker guy to stop his games. Kinda ridiculous how he's messing with everyone.

The reality of it is, why reduce it down to $10, when people are now buying at $60?! Its just increased his profit margin by 6 times what it used to be! Would you reduce it down if it was selling for 6 times more?
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Thanks for that! I saw that too but thought it was a glitch as its not dispatched by Amazon. Good price got even better now. What did you actually say in that email please?
[HTC Sensation] agent.m:
Thought it was a mistake. But decided if I'm paying for postage they could send it earlier and it's still cheaper than the original price.
[HTC Sensation] JWhipple:
Generally about 18 to 20.
[HTC Sensation] Derek0228:
i wanna get one of these...

Which would you say guys, Anker or Chichitec?
[HTC Sensation] JWhipple:
I've got no reservations about recommending Anker to anyone at this point , then again I've had the battery for less than a week...

So far so good though.

I've got no experience with the Chichitec batteries so I couldn't tell you either way on those.
[HTC Sensation] pdxrealtor:
I bought the CHICHITEC .. seemed to have great reviews
[HTC Sensation] EyeAndroid:
CHICHITEC, less games - good reviews.
[HTC Sensation] cjm1979:
" Hi. Why am i been charged delivery for these when it quite clearly says free delivery with super saver?"

Got a reply within a couple of hours to day they will refund due to a system error and that it should of been free. I got an email this afternoon to say they have refunded and it will take up to 10 days to go through. Funny that it didn't take 10 days to take my brass though! Also got despatched today too.
[HTC Sensation] half269:
the result is the best choice will be the original battery from HTC EVO 3D or SENSATION XE?
[HTC Sensation] phantomblu:
I just got the battery and it's stuck at 99% charge. It gets to 100% if I reboot and charge again. Is there a way to fix this? I've searched and only got one mention of this problem.
[HTC Sensation] masondoctorjt:
The phone stays at 99% for a long time, it does eventually go to 100%. It dies this with stock battery too. That's just the way this phone is.
[HTC Sensation] Ryanrenesis:
Anyone here is willing to purchase an anker battery + wall charger from ebay and enter my address details instead? Of course i'll pay for it tho (moneybookers, western union).

Or have a solution to how I can obtain one. I live in Canada so amazon.com doesn't ship here (amazon.ca doesn't have Anker) and I don't trust paypal since they screwed me over by siding with scammers when I disputed so I can't use eBay w/o paypal.
[HTC Sensation] tlgerdes:
Buy it off Ebay. That is the "Official" outlet for Laptopmate_usa who are the imported/manufacturer.

Search on Ebay for "Anker Battery Sensation" and you will find them @ $15.99 US, they post to Canada.
[HTC Sensation] Ryanrenesis:
Please read my post properly. I need help buying it, are there any angels here who would do that for me? Like I said, I'll pay extra if you want.
[HTC Sensation] walkinhotdog:
so basically your saying that you need an amazon account? i dont see whats different between you buying it yourself and me buying it for you and shipping to your address. isnt that the same thing? or do you mean buy it and ship to my house then i ship it to your address. anyways i can do it for you if the only thing i need to do is change the shipping address to your place. sounds easy enough
[HTC Sensation] TheStigx:
This maybe be a stupid question, but will this fit the samsung SG2?
[HTC Sensation] The Radius Kid:
You're Canadian?

Whereabouts?
[HTC Sensation] PsicheAlCubo:
Well...would you ever put a Nokia battery on a BlackBerry? Or a Samsung battery on an LG Phone?!

Anker is just a brand so, off course you can't use the battery they produce for the Sensation on a SG2...but you can search for one of their battery made for your Samsung device :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] mtarabichi:
so it s not better ??\
[HTC Sensation] walkinhotdog:
Read my post #1373 its def better if u ask me
[HTC Sensation] ximocko:
Could someone please guide us how to use Battery Monitor Widget to find out how real capacity that every anker carry?! Thanks in advance
[HTC Sensation] moshe22:
I want to share my story with my Anker battery:

About 3-4 months ago after reading all the good things about the Anker I decided to buy it and see for myself.

I power cycle the battery and I definitely notice a difference, so naturally I kept using it until this past Monday.

I was browsing the internet when all of the sudden my phone got really, really, really hot to the touch. I couldn't touch the battery for more than three seconds without getting burned.

At this point though I didn't know it was my battery.I felt the screen really hot and the back of the phone as well. So I naturally pulled out the battery and to my surprise the battery was burning hot.

3 days later I try to put it back in and the phone would not start, the battery died completely. It even got swollen.

I wanted to share my experience for everyone reading this thread to know and keep a record of events like this here.
[HTC Sensation] wigwag:
call up anker they have a 1yr warranty on the batterys im sure if you explain theyll get a new one to you asap :)

2X 2200mAh G14High Capacity Battery + Charger For HTC Sensation 4G

After looking at all the battery options that were available for the sensation, i ended up going with this one, you get two 2200 maH batteries and a charger for around $14, you cant beat that
[HTC Sensation] cyberandroid:
Do you have a link of which ones you are referring to? Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] moshe22:
Thanks for the info!
[HTC Sensation] big_smurf:
I've been using an anker 1900 for a few months now and it is definitely worth buying. With all the tweaks available with newer roms and the extra battery life i can go days before needing a charge.
[HTC Sensation] sangio89:
the first two cycles seemed identical to the stock battery's cycle.
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
Yeah, it gradually improves a bit. It's not instant.
[HTC Sensation] KCuadrado:
I just got my Anker Battery today and I got a question. Is it me, or the Battery Monitor Widget says the temperature is always at 23-25 degrees Celsius? The maximum temp I get is 25. Anyone gets this too? Or does it get higher?
[HTC Sensation] B1aze:
Same here, although for what it's worth, this battery runs significantly cooler than the stock battery, which is awesome.
[HTC Sensation] phantomblu:
I'm using CM7. If I change the max setting in Battery Monitor Widget, will my default battery show the correct percentage in the status bar?
[HTC Sensation] zoran89:
I just ordered one from ebay.... Couldn't order from outlet because they don't ship to Croatia.... So I had to pay 28$ to order it from another guy...

Hope it will improve my battery life....

And for the posts above.... anker battery doesn't have temperature sensor, so it will always be 25 ;-)...
[HTC Sensation] tlgerdes:
Interesting, because I have seen it vary temp between about 23 and 25deg. Mine generally hovers around 24.9 -25.3, so what is reporting the temp if the battery isn't?
[HTC Sensation] boakesm:
I assume it has a fixed default unlike pure HTC batteries my anker always hovers here despite phone heating my HTC battery would rise to the 30s in same situation
[HTC Sensation] KCuadrado:
It just doesn't get as hot as the stock HTC OEM Battery. I kept stressing my phone by playing GTA 3 for an hour without stopping and it wasn't hot like when I played with the original battery.

[HTC Sensation] hexen88:
Received my Anker 5min ago. Mounted in phone, turned on Battery Monitor Widget Pro, and what can i see? 1580mAH - is this normal? On box says 1900. Also bought on Amazon from seller with many positives. Battery was charged to 54%.

It will get better, or not?
[HTC Sensation] KCuadrado:
It will get better. I've charged it like 4 times already and the best I've got is 1774mAh but it lasts a lot more than the stock. I get around 6-7 hours of heavy use of the phone. And about 24-26 with light use.

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G.
[HTC Sensation] hexen88:
So this is normal, that mAH's r not even close to 1900 at beginning?

My time usage on stock battery Was something around 10/12H of normal (not light, not hard) use. Half a day wifi turned on, almost never 3G, maybe 2h of music, many messages (60/70 a day), maybe 10mins of calling... without any games. Something about 4-h of surfing on Opera Mobile. That's it... Light turned to minimum, without sync, without hot-spot, and gps. Also screensaver set to minimum.
[HTC Sensation] PsicheAlCubo:
1°- This has been answered 1000 times since the beginning of this thread

2°- You will always see 1580 unless you will manually change to overide what is the normal factory setting of your phone (you can do this from BMW go to Settings --> Monitoring --> Battery Capacity)

3°- BMW can also measure the actual capacity of your new Anker but it needs a few COMPLETE charge/discharge cycles to get accurate

4°- It is possible that you'll never reach 1900mAh in BMW and this is, unfortunately, beacuse of the CRAP mAh meter of our beloved Sensation..so don't let it bother you too much: the important thing for you must be to actually see an improvement in your phone life AFTER at least 4-5 complete 0 to 100 to 0 to 100% cycles

5°- If after those cycles you stil are unhappy with your batt life you can contact Anker for a replacement (they should have 1 or 2 years warranty...can't recall at the mom)
[HTC Sensation] hexen88:
1. this thread have more than 100 pages... u want to read it? U don't have job?

2. i should change it to 1900? It's Anker really 1900?

3. okay

4. okay

5. 1 year :)

Thank you

1- God put in your hand the most powerful item ever to help through your job & doubts: it's called "Search This Thread" and it comes in a simple or advanced version! ;)

Just bought the Anker battery, now it is giving me problems with waking the phone up from sleep. Is that normal or is it a defective battery?
[HTC Sensation] 63holdenolden:
I bought mine from here

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/220809453541
[HTC Sensation] boomboomer:
Batteries are not an exact quantity that can be easily measured, manufacturing variables, temperature and user habits mean no two batteries will be exactly the same. Put 1900 into BMW and then see what it works out over a few cycles, you aren't going to get a definite answer here or anywhere else.
[HTC Sensation] hexen88:
Okay, and how can i measure my capacity? Just by charging?
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
There's no way to "measure" the capacity of a battery without expensive equipment. Android apps will just work out a very rough estimate based on various factors.
[HTC Sensation] Jikstah:
Hmm, I tried ordering from him except with a wall charger last night, and said it couldn't be shipped to Australia. And now I just bought them.. wierd. Thanks anyway!
[HTC Sensation] hexen88:
okay, can you tell me how can i measure this in BMW?
[HTC Sensation] hexen88:
Now i see something interesting. This is my 2nd cycle. 1st ive charged, and runned to the ground by running video in loop, now - when is charging, my battery stops at 99%, 1881mAH (as BMW reporting), and not charging more. This state is from 1 hour, not changing. LED on top is orange (charging). What sould i do?

And how can i measure real capacity in BMW? Stills says, that i can do it by doing 50% more charge cycles, but i dont understand this...
[HTC Sensation] PsicheAlCubo:
Forcing the batt to discharge by recording endless video is not the best way you have to calibrate your phone: it just need time and normal use..trying to speed the process it's not gonna help..

The batt is Li-On, which means it has NO memory effect. The charge/discharge cycles basically calibrate your phone (battstats) to make it more accurate in the juice calculation, it doesn't have any effect on the battery itself.

Because your phone is used and is make to have a 1580mAh it's normal that it arrive much faster to 99% but then it needs more time to finish the re-charge and overall I experienced much better result living the battery in charge for some time even when the led turn green at 100%

I usually get a recharge 10%-100% in 2h and 30-40' but I usually leave it there charging for another 30' (so in the end I leave it always 3h / 3h and 10')

To let BMW be as accurate as possible you need to complete a few cycles from 5% or lower to 100% and from 100% to 5% or lower

If you really have A LOT of time to spend and you don't need to unplug your phone for this time you can also try to charge it from your USB port. It took me around 7 hours once, but I had an incredible life battery then: can't explain why but it looks like with Li-On battery the slowest you charge them the slowest they discharge..!
[HTC Sensation] hexen88:
So, turning on video is useless, right?

Why u say 5-100%? Can't be empty? I'm always trying to charge when it's totally empty. I mean phone turns off by itself, and I can't turn it off any way.

and why in second cycle my battery (as BMW says) stopped charging at 99%? Nothing was change by something about 1h. LED was orange still, but BMW stopped at 99%? This is because old battstats? File still "remembers" old battery?

second cycle, and BMW still says "measured: 0%", this will not change until few cycle charges? Or should be different every cycle?

I don't really know how to use this app...

And - ive unplugged my phone after LED goes green, but after i read your post - i plugged in again (LED was still green), but, for NOW, BMW says it's still 99% (ive unplugged when was 100%). How it's possible that my phone (led) says it's fully charged, and BMW says it's not? 1881/1900 (same like when phone stops charging before at 99%)
[HTC Sensation] PsicheAlCubo:
5% or lower. Many people let the battery drain empty but I prefere not to let the phone switch off because of the empty battery so, during the first few cycles I let it fell till 3-4-5% and then I pluged it in to recharge and at this moment I always recharge it when it falls to 10-15%

It was stuck to 99% because it was not fully charged yet. The only way is to leave it there and to wait (unless your battery is faulty...but I don't think so)

I experienced a couple of times "jumps" in the recharge action where the phone went from 20% to 70% in like 5min and then it was stuck to 99% for about 2 hours...

A good way to understand what is going on is to download "Juice Plotter" which will make a very easy to understand graph about your battery life for every minute of the day and it also take records of temperature (but unfortunately this feature doesn't work with Anker) and other minor but useful things

BMW will measure your battery over some cycles, just let it do its job and in a couple of days you'll have your result..

It happened to me also but it doesn't depends from BMW, it's the phone that actually see it's 99% but still want to have the green led on. You'll bettere leave it there till you're sure it's 100% and not moving from there: this is also why I told you to leave it plugged in some more time even if the phone tells you that it's full recharged!

and its Prime eligible so free two-day shipping :P

$15.99 as apposed to $59.99 for the same battery on eBay :P
[HTC Sensation] PsicheAlCubo:
Both BMW and Juice Plotter always show the same charge state as phone does so I guess they just read a measure that the phone itself does. How? I don't know if there is a chip inside the batt or if there is a chip inside the phone..one way or the other it's a crap kind of chip cause it's the most inaccurate I've seen so far!
