Psiche, can u help me? Did I broke my Anker? I have situation, twice, that i can't charge to full, and charged to 60%, or even 10% and unplugged, coz ill be late for bus ;D and, after back to home i charged phone to full.

Now in BMW i can see:

Aging: 12%

Measured: 2083mAH (before was something above 1500mAH)

What should I do? Should I worry about this? And, it's coz unplugging when not charged full? What "aging" exacly means about battery - it's capacity lower, or what?
[HTC Sensation] boomboomer:
BMW only reports what it has observed being input to the battery which on the Sensation is very hard due to the buggy driver. If you didn't complete a full charge then it makes this estimation process harder. Your battery is unchanged and you can wipe the battery data in BMW if you wish. My battery capacity in BMW is zero, as I never use the phone to charge the battery but swap the two Ankers I have between phone and charger, it makes no difference.

Partial charges won't damage the battery, the only way to damage them is to leave them 'cooking' on the charger for days or empty them and leave them to naturally discharge to below their shut off voltage.
[HTC Sensation] hexen88:
So I should not worry about "aging"?

And what about stock battery? What to do with it? I just leaved it discharged on my desk, should i charge it? I mean - i want use it sometimes, for ex. as a replacement when anker is empty and i can't charge
[HTC Sensation] Eki-sensation:
I have the anker 1900 now for more than 10 days.

My first impression is not bad, i can use my sensation now for 3a4 hours longer at normal use.

do not expect miracles but the anker 1900 will help you get through the day.

With heavy intensive use of your phone you will not notice very much. For this you really need a 2nd battery.
[HTC Sensation] PsicheAlCubo:
Best way to keep an unused battery in good condition is to leave it there between 50% - 70% and have at least a full charge discharge cycle per month

Don't leave it unused for too long with values out of the range..

This will NOT make your battery life limitless..but will surely help you to get the most out of it ;)

Sensation XE Anker Review

I have 2 ankers and the charger which comes free with them, I just pop in a new battery when other one runs out. I made it thru 3 days easily with the 2 batteries fully charged.

Anker imho runs the same as the stock battery, maybe slightly more.

No decline in capacity seen in last 2months of regular use, and I take no special care of the batteries.

Verdict : Go for it. 20$ for 2 batteries + slim charger is good value.
[HTC Sensation] scotia_rfc:
Have ordered this myself from eBay. Looking forward to having a test
[HTC Sensation] kpahl1973:
Let me clarify...I have the 1700 battery not the extended

I ordered one this week. Charged my first battery and popped it in. Now I am running 36:30:20 hrs as I post on one charge. Battery is at 21%. This battery and charger works! This is on HTC Evo 4g with The Express 3.0.1. Running the Anthrax kernel. With my stock battery I was getting about 8 hrs max.

[HTC Sensation] gbarayah:
I have the Anker battery and am getting between 15-20 hours of usage out of a full charge cycle. Depends on how heavily I'm using my phone and how long my work day is (work at a jail and cell phone reception is terrible in certain areas of facility).

I've been using BMW and it measures the Anker at 2050mah. Average runtime to zero is at 17hrs. Haven't used the stock battery much so can't really say how much better or worse it is. As long as I can make it a whole day without needing a charge, I'm happy.
[HTC Sensation] boomboomer:
Had these batteries for a week now and for the first time, since moving to Android a year ago, I have been confident to remove battery monitor and stop killing apps after I've finished with them. The combination of sensation hardware, virtuous inquisition ROM and the Anker battery mean I no longer have to care about power, just an eye once in a while on percentage.

I have one battery in the phone, the other in the charger (takes exactly 7hrs to charge) or charged and waiting. When the phone gets below 10% they get swapped over. I never use the phone to charge, the stock driver is useless and it has no idea when charging is complete. For the same reason I found all the battery and current apps are also useless for this phone.

Each battery lasts at least a 24hr period, although I do shut it down when asleep. This includes up to 6hrs screen on, wifi and cellular connection. If I watch a movie or have poor signal the screen on time might get reduced to 4 or 5 hours.

For £16 these batteries are very good value, although the charger is too cheap in design and manufacture - I would not advise leaving the charger on while you sleep as I've read several stories of them exploding.

Hope this helps someone.
[HTC Sensation] Jikstah:
Hey guise,

So my Anker batteries just came in today after waiting two weeks.. just wondering if there is anything I should do before actually using them? Like wiping battery stats maybe?

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] hexen88:
Psiche, r u here?

I'm in very bad situation now. I leaved my phone charging at night (like I always do). After 6 hours of sleeping I woke up, and I can't touch my sensation. It was much overheated. I'm pretty sure that there was much more than 80C. My fingers get's burned... I spreded phone on the pieces quickly. Now it's good. BMW not registered any temperature above 25C.

What should I do now? And why something like this happen?

Also, now, maybe from one week - I can't get more jouce from Anker than from stock. It's.... just the same time on battery, almost the same.
[HTC Sensation] boomboomer:
I wouldn't leave the phone to charge any battery overnight, unless the phone was switched off, as the battery driver for the sensation is useless and I've watched it keep on charging for two hours after the battery was full. Charging with the phone switched off seems fine though.

The Anker battery is probably broken now, I wouldn't use it if I were you, but it's unlikely to have damaged the phone. Temerature for the Anker is always 25 deg, as it has no sensor included.

---------- Post added at 02:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:10 PM ----------

****URGENT****

I've just had an email from Anker, via Amazon, warning me NOT to use the supplied charger to charge the phone in the USB charger port as it has a 'potential design defect'.

It doesn't mention using the charger just to fill the battery on it's own, but I think I'll give it a miss until the free replacement charger they're sending turns up.

I saw a few reviews that said the charger blew up with the phone plugged into it, so I never used that option myself.
[HTC Sensation] trialsta:
I have to agree with this review, the anker battery gains me a few extra hours, just enough to see me through a day if I am careful.

I have to keep a second battery charged that I can swap in if I need to use my phone in the evening whilst out or anything like that.
[HTC Sensation] PsicheAlCubo:
Wow mate: that was definetely NOT a good idea! First enemy of LiOn batteries? Heat! This is why your phone has a security check on the batt temp chip which is supposed to cut off the energy if the device gets too warm (around 55-60°C)...unfortunately Anker's chip doesn't work at all, this is why it SEEMS it never goes warmer then 25°C..!

It is very likely your Anker has started to die: this is why you noticed a drop of performances after it has been cooked inside your phone..

It happens very rarely to me to leave it on all night long right because I don't want to find I can cook my morning egg on the phone...beside if I do I always have it off or on airplane mode (usually it's the combination of bad radio signal with the phone plugged in that causes the overheat)

I remember that with my previous SGS2 I sometimes had to place it on an ice pack to cool it down while charging...but I discovered later on that was due to the defective charger....

What can i say...? Let's hope for the best...but if your Anker doesn't give you anymore the juice you need, keep it as an emergency spare one and go get a new one being a bit more careful this time when you charge it!!
[HTC Sensation] hexen88:
Thank you for your advice. But what can I say... i didn't used my battery abnormal. I used it normally, just charge, and discharge... Nothing other...

You mean my phone should be switched off or on airplane mode when charging? Why? What's connection between charging and switched network on?

And why it's dying? After few weeks?!

I asked laptopmate.co.uk (store where I bought my Anker) about this situation, they said, that they will refund me full money back. And for now I was wondering buying new battery. I don't want Anker anymore, is Mugen better? Mugen have this chip on battery to measure temperature?
[HTC Sensation] PsicheAlCubo:
You may say that you used it as you usually use your batteries. Normal in this case doesn't apply as it's never good to leave the battery on charge the whole night when you can't control what it's going on...for your information: you've been quite lucky as in case of failure of your charger/phone security check it could have started a fire..!!

No, I usually charge my phone when I am awake so I don't need to put it on airplane mode (I can check it every so & so to see if everything is right). But if it happens that I need to charge it over night off course I put it on airplane mode. I can't explain technically the connection but you can try it yourself: when your phone is on charge if you use for eg to surf the net, after a while, it will get quite warm: not as much to burn your finger, but warm enough to be noticed!

Not because of the few weeks off course but because of the heat...as I told you: worse enemy of batteries is the heat...and you told us you practically cooked it!

Can't help you with that: I'm more than happy with my Anker's, in facts I was thinking about buying a second one ;)
[HTC Sensation] masondoctorjt:
I always charge my phone at night with it on. I need the alarm, and what's the point of having a cell phone if you have to have it plugged into a cord when you are most likely to use it, namely when your awake.... My amnesty had held up fine, its now 4 months old, charging it all night, every night. Capacity is still great!
[HTC Sensation] joogle:
Thanks for that, I also charge my battery overnight, but twice my phone shut down today and I am not sure why. I just installed Anker battery a few days ago.

In Battery Monitor Widget, is the temperature reading accurate? Is there an app that provides accurate temp reading?

Also in BMW what did you do set it up as Anker for monitoring?

Lastly, is there a log or such that Sensation has to see why phone was shut down.

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] masondoctorjt:
There is no temp sensor in bmw, don't know about logging, and I can't remember how I set it up for the Anker, but it wasn't that hard, I would go back through and figure it out again,but I got to get ready for work.
[HTC Sensation] krugm0f0:
My Anker reports 2089 mAh, and I'm very happy with it.

I just ordered another battery, a 2430 mAh. ( http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110767514693&ssPageName=ADME:L:OU:GB:1123 )

Will give it a try aswell.

The Anker is, to me, superior to the standard battery.

Sensation + RcMix ICS Sense 3.6 + Anker hell yeah
[HTC Sensation] velvet396:
on the stock battery widget, when full my phone says 4218mV when it is full. Not sure if this is accurate, as it tends to stay at 100% for a while of use before that value goes down. Same goes for the battery use tracker in phone settings, after a full charge I can use the phone for 20-30 minutes and there's no battery usage history as it still reports at 100%.

I'm not rooted so no way around this as I can tell.

Other than that, both phones in the family running Anker batteries for about 3 months now, nothing but great results so far. Definite increase in capacity.
[HTC Sensation] sarkar_007:
Even I am using an unrooted phone. And the Anker battery does stay at 100% for a while before it starts going down.
[HTC Sensation] Gaby98:
Hey, buddy. Just take it easy. It is not the same case as Nickel metal hydride battery which has a limit for memory. Charging for longer or shorter time will not affect its performace.

If you are so caring about your battery, just don't charge your battery until it is almost empty(above 5%?), and stop charging it before is fully charged( below 95%?).
[HTC Sensation] PsicheAlCubo:
The "Don't worry be happy" thing it's indeed a good suggestion ;) but I would leave there anything else you suggested: charging it just till 95% would result in having a battery which lasts less than the stock one!! :rolleyes:

He should just join the 99% of this com on the dark side by starting rooting his Sensation to get the most out of it..but it's about the 15th time that I'm repeating this song: it's reversible which also means you won't lose the warranty ;)

After reading this thread, I got the 1900 mAh Anker battery. Over a week of use, I 'broke' it in with 5 full charge-full discharge cycles.

the only observation I can make is that with the same phone and same usage patterns, I find that the stock battery lasts about 8% or so longer than the Anker.

I had certainly hoped for more... meh - at least its good for a spare batt.

A few more hours of browsing and IM'ing in the evening I had about 30% come 10pm. Just plugged it in. I think with fairly normal use I could get about 20 hours plus. Not sure how this compares with the stock battery as I haven't had much of a chance to use it in a similar fashion.
