If people are still doubting the performance of this battery, check out this review: http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=224636

It proves that the battery has 13%-25% more juice than the stock Evo 3D battery. meaning ALOT more juice than our Sensation's 1580! I just ordered one today, already shipped and on the way to me! I will report back when I have tested it myself too.

For those interested as well: http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/mugen-power-1950mah-extended-battery-for-htc-evo-3d.html

Free shipping to most countries :)
[HTC Sensation] scm_crash:
Well, it's good to see that this one has the temp sensor. That was the only thing stopping me at this point from buying one. I guess I'll put my order in now. :)

___EDIT___

Purchased. 2-6 business days. :)
[HTC Sensation] eviLutions:
I ordered this battery from mugenbattery.com and just got it yesterday. It seems to be legit with temp sensors and everything. Just got done charging it for 12+ hours from last night. Got 11 hours so far and I'm at 17% right now with heavy use.

I work at the farm so the phone searches for signal a lot and I'm always in the truck going from place to place.

I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get more hours from it after a couple more charges. ;D
[HTC Sensation] scm_crash:
Mine just arrived... I'm not going to put it in now, though. I can't let it charge for 8-12 hours yet since it's only 11:50am now. I'll start charging it tonight.
[HTC Sensation] banesi:
just got mine today, first thing i noticed are this huge warnings about obligatory formatting battery by charging it 4-5 times for 8-12 hours, it's like we're still living in last century with old NiMH and NiCd batteries for which this manual was initially written :-/

i hope it's just some error from people who actualy don't know the characteristics of Li-ion batteries and not from people who actually built this product

i'll post some findings on how good it is in next days, as soon as i test it a bit more
[HTC Sensation] scm_crash:
I don't think it's about formatting the battery so much as letting your phone get to know it. Notice how it says that your phone should be turned on? That's because your device builds up stats for the battery. By charging and discharging it on the mains while the phone is on, and you let it charge for long enough, the phone gets to understand the characteristics of the battery the right way. That way the phone doesn't try to cut charging or power at the wrong times.
[HTC Sensation] .TX.:
Can anyone show how mugen1950 fits in HTC Sensation?
[HTC Sensation] scm_crash:
It fits exactly how the stock battery fits. No different at all.
[HTC Sensation] Radio_Dude:
I'm subscribing to this tread. The result of this experiment is crucial for my purchase decision. I already own an Anker battery but would totally purchase this in a heart beat if its better than anker's battery.
[HTC Sensation] scm_crash:
Yesterday was the first day using the Mugen 1950. Here's what I have to report:

First off, my phone reported that it was 75% charged when I popped it in and showed it as a 1750mAh battery. (I see that I'm not the only one in this case)

Even though it was already at 75%, I followed the directions and let it sit on the AC charger for 12 hours.

First use, I drove 25 minutes with GPS, bluetooth audio for Grooveshark and the GPS text to speech, plus the screen on 100% of the time. Battery was at 100% still when I arrived at my destination.

For 2 hours the phone was mostly idle other than a couple pictures I took and a few text messages.

On the way home, Grooveshark, bluetooth audio and screen on the entire ride home (30+ minutes thanks to traffic). Battery was down to 98%.

A couple short phone calls, facebook, and some texting. I went out at night with 60% left on the battery by this time. (8 hours on battery)

While out, I played a few youtube videos, played with SVOX text-to-speech, browsed the market and internet, ran a TiB backup, and just played with the phone randomly (i.e. looking at settings, stats, etc.)

By the time I got home I had about 40% left. No idea how many hours on battery. A friend called me and we chatted for about 25 minutes. Got off the phone, 35% left.

Ran Tune-In Radio for an hour to run down the rest of the battery to 4%. Put the phone on the desktop dock to charge off the AC. 3 hours later, battery's full.

My phone's current setup:

ARHD 3.6.4 on Bricked Kernel 1.4r1

CPU Screen On: 1.188GHz/384MHz (SmartAss2)

CPU Screen Off: 192MHz/192MHz

GPU I/O Fraction: 50

Undervolting: -75mv

The battery got up to 47*C while using GPS, Grooveshark, BT Audio and screen on during the drive to my destination. But only got up to about 40*C on the way home. (I guess GPS heats the phone up really good.)

Either way, using Battery Monitor Widget, it's telling me to expect 40 days of standby. LOL It estimates 16+hrs of use on average the way I use my phone. I can definitely agree with that. While in use, it was averaging about 90-110ma draws and at times spiked to 200's. I saw 1 or 2 entries in the log for 500+ma.

So far so good. 2 or 3 more full cycles and I should be able to get a full 24 hours worth of use out of it.
[HTC Sensation] scm_crash:
Second day report!

Battery Monitor Widget has reported something interesting:

While charging last night from 4% up, the screen was on (I have wake lock while charging on).

Well, BMW (lol) is reporting this battery has 2533mAh!!! (Using the measured value in the calibration menu!) Is that the case for you guys?
[HTC Sensation] Radio_Dude:
scm_crash, you're really convincing me to get this battery. lol deep down inside I was hoping that the performance improvement wouldn't be that much greater than the anker one but i guess i was wrong. There goes another $50.
[HTC Sensation] scm_crash:
Attached is what Battery Monitor Widget says... Just to make sure I'm not crazy or reading this wrong... People?
[HTC Sensation] lolpos:
i dont use bmw, but i myself have also been using this battery for a while and im a moderate-heavy user and i will tell u that this battery does wonders. ive tried the stock battery, chichitec, and the 1800mah mugen battery made for htc! nothing comes close to this and it doesnt get as hot as the others. this phone lasts me about a full day with heavy usage most of the time. if i keep my phone on idle/sleep with moderate use it takes like a day and a half until i need to recharge

my setup i use is:

coredroid 2.5

bricked 1.45 open beta #509

i ONLY use fauxclock to tweek my settings

screen on = 1026ghz/192 (ondemand)

i dont use screen off profile since the kernal itself has its own built in profile

gpu i/o : 50

UV -75

been beta testing bricked 1.4 #509 and its been really smooth and stable along with battery life. according tim bricked its prolly gonna be the next offical release!
[HTC Sensation] scm_crash:
Tried to run the battery down to nothing today.

Over 6 hours of constant on using bluetooth audio and Grooveshark while keeping the screen on. Only got it down to 38%.

Check out my Awake, Screen and WiFi. LOL This battery is just a force in its own class... Just amazing.

BTW, notice that I'm also using Line2... It's not just 1 phone line I'm running at all times!!!
[HTC Sensation] Radio_Dude:
lol that does it then, guess i'll be getting this battery. damn it and I just bought the anker one too
[HTC Sensation] atticus182:
Thanks for the info! I just received mine today, will report back in a few days after a few charge cycles :)!
[HTC Sensation] Tantrumxp:
Just got this battery 2 days ago. first day of usage i definitely see an increase in power. i usually need to charge half way through the day, but with this new one i didnt have to. i was using it normally, texting, games, facebook. nothing to crazy. today is my second day and i will try to beat on it some more and report back.
[HTC Sensation] danilo081:
look carefully there are 2 batteries 1200mAh it is not 3000mAh as stated but it is 2400 mah

2x1200 paralel = 2400

if they sealing this as 1900 mAh it is correct, drop around 20% of each you will get around 1950 mAh ant that is acceptable mark.
[HTC Sensation] Radio_Dude:
but there's only one battery in the 1950mah rated battery (3000mah one is double the size of the normal battery and require mugen battery covers to function) I don't understand how your argument is valid. Granted after hearing the reviews, I'm kind of skeptical about Mugen myself. I'll still give it a chance and try out this battery, if this doesn't perform better than my anker battery, I'll never buy Mugen again.
[HTC Sensation] atticus182:
I am using the mugen as we speak for about 5 days now, and I have noticed a HUGE increase in battery life! You need to let it get used to regular use though, so follow the instructions that say you have to drain the battery to <5% before charging, and then let it charge for at least 6 hours a few times. I did this and the battery life is just awesome :) easyily make a whole day of 18hrs :)
[HTC Sensation] spiritonline:
universal charger for the mugen battery?

Hi all,

I've just purchased this battery and I was wondering if I could use a universal charger to charge the mugen and my stock battery without damaging the batteries?

Jason.
[HTC Sensation] gavin-phelan:
Yes u can i am
[HTC Sensation] safeburn:
i brought this battery one month a go and , my sensation is rooted and overclocked to 1.5 ghz, and 3g connection active all the time because i make lot voip calls, and listening to music.. i can highly recommend this battery for other users ,
[HTC Sensation] scm_crash:
OK, I'm well past the break-in period and my phone definitely reads this battery well above it's rated capacity. Right now BMW Pro shows it's reading at 2389mAh. But it's saying +/- 49%. So I guess I need to give it a couple more discharges...

Problem is that I can't discharge it fast enough. It lasts so long all day that even with heavy use I'm not getting it down past 20%. Last night I kept it off the charger. When I woke up it was still above 10%. I put it on the charger because I needed the phone ready for the day. It was charged in no time.
[HTC Sensation] Mafiatounes:
Will this be an big improvement over the stock 1730mah in the XE? I really nerd a beefy battery because i use internet tethering a lot for my iPad 2 (wifi).

Sent from Htc Sensation XE with Beats by Dre
[HTC Sensation] scm_crash:
This battery was specifically designed to replace the same 1750mAh battery that's in the Evo 3D. So I'd imagine it should still be a great step up for you.

My phone reads it as larger than 2000mAh. (Using battery monitor widget pro) I can go far longer than a day with this battery and the old stock battery used to last no more than 12 hours if I was careful. I use my phone a lot for internet stuff and it lasts pretty much 16-18 hours on real heavy use.

HOWEVER, I tethered the other day and got about 8 hours before the battery was almost dead. But then again, 8 hours of tethering is quite a lot. (My internet was down at my house and I used my phone for internet. Internet is required for me to work.)
[HTC Sensation] ruthl3ss:
Yeah, I purchased this also but will need to wait for stock till 9th Dec. Its bad but i hope i did good investition.
[HTC Sensation] okishead:
I would check 3600mAh as well. I'm not getting enough with my Mugen 3300mah battery, so I guess, for HTC Sensation 3600mAh will be a good boost.
[HTC Sensation] wr8_utd:
Not getting enough with 3300?!
[HTC Sensation] exxpired:
123VC give 10% off if anyone wants to buy one! Just ordered one, wont get it till maybe just before xmas but ohwell :)
[HTC Sensation] spiritonline:
I've order this battery and its still underway, I also purchased a universal charger so i can charge 2 batteries at the same time. (one in the phone one in the universal charger) however the universal charger says it outputs: DC 4.2V, while the battery is 3.7, will that damage the battery?

Jason.

(PS: also order the anker, will post comparisons once I have both.)
[HTC Sensation] ruthl3ss:
Hello guys I decided to ask something...

I purchased this battery from official site I Guess:

mugen-power-batteries

But the weird problem is that first when I purchased it shipping date was at 9th december, they changed it to 5th december and now when i checked is for 23th December.. its really weird and i was "shocked" :eek::eek:

Anyone have idea whats can be going?
[HTC Sensation] Radio_Dude:
lol, ruthl3ss. perhaps they'll be keeping their word on your order when you placed it meaning your battery will be shipped on the 9th while the shipping date for other people will be on the later date.
[HTC Sensation] ruthl3ss:
Yeah i wrote to them so they answered me that 23th december is date for peoples which order now, for me date is 9th ;) I think everything should be fine. :)
[HTC Sensation] samo_:
Anyone have tested the real capacity of this battery?

Does it really worth the extra $ over the Anker?
[HTC Sensation] scm_crash:
I haven't tested it with any hardware other than my phone, but this battery does hold up to its claim.

My phone thinks it's a 2300+mAh battery. And it stays charged all day with heavy use.
[HTC Sensation] ruthl3ss:
Anyone figured how much hrs can stay with this battery with Stock ROM and with what load?

Happy Holidays everyone!
[HTC Sensation] scm_crash:
Can't really put a number on the hours. Every person's phone is different no matter how stock you think the ROM is. Usage is different, background apps are different, etc.

My phone constantly reads approx 2100mAh from this battery +/- 100Ah.

You can sort of figure out how long it will last you. Stock battery is 1520mAh. This battery is reading about 2100-ish. So that's approximately 1.38 times bigger.

Whatever amount of time you're getting out of the stock battery, multiply by 1.38 and you should get how the battery will last you on one charge.
[HTC Sensation] shawayne21:
i have a NEW chichitec 1930 mAH extended battery for the sensation. Works really well.

Looking for $15 for it. Never used.

Works well as i had bought 2
[HTC Sensation] xdviper:
$10 and I'll come pick it up tonight, what part of NY? Please tell me either the city or Brooklyn or atleast Queens.
[HTC Sensation] saniauskis:
Ok, received this battery a week ago.

First time I have inserted this battery it was about 55% full. I had to play fruit ninja for about 2 hours to get it down lo about 4-5 (they attached short manual how to make maximum from this battery: http://i.lulzimg.com/fd75754f87.jpg). After that I have done 4 cycles of 12hours charging-discharging. during that cycles battery life was better than stock battery (lasted about 20-22h when stock battery could last about 16-18).

Now I have first cycle with normal charge which takes about 3hours if I'm right with my samsung i9003 charger (until 100% + half hour).

After that I have 17hours easy usage of the phone (about 70sms, some camera shots, about hour surfing on the internet), total screen on time is 1h 48m, wifi usage time 1h 14m. And I still have 50% of juice left. Will post the sreenshots of usage after it goes to the 2-5%.

Btw, Battery Monitor Widget reports battery as 2184mAh +- 11%: http://i.lulzimg.com/8545807c27.jpg

Also I have noticed that Faux 0.2.8b2 kernel eats more juice on standby than stock kernel. (about 2-3% per hour when stock eats about 1-2%). ;)
[HTC Sensation] Dijkstra88:
I have tested the mugen as the Anker, and my opinion is that they are the same, runs both cooler than the stock battery and the same battery life by full use around 20 hours (faux123 kernel 0.8.2+) ;)
[HTC Sensation] saniauskis:
I personaly think that testing needs more than couple days. I think anker will start dieing sooner than mugen.

btw, forgot to take pics. will do it tonight.
[HTC Sensation] tunppi:
They just sent my battery.. Heard so much good about it here so had to order :)
[HTC Sensation] GabrielSousa:
how many hours you can get with this battery ?

i can get 55 hours on anker 1900 mAh
[HTC Sensation] Aegishua:
LOL my battery HAS to be reading wrong.. Battery Monitor Widget is reporting my Mugen 1950mAh for the Evo 3D at 2922mAh.The battery life however is incredibly long as far as I can tell.

I'll try and run it down these next couple of days so it reports the mAh a bit more accurately and I'll tell you whether it's really at around 2900mAh.

But lol. its almost double the standard Sensation battery.
[HTC Sensation] ruthl3ss:
Are you with PRO version of Battery Monitor Widget? Because here on me it shows me "In-Use 1580 mAh, Measured 2200 mAh "
[HTC Sensation] akpe:
Well, on my 1900mAh Anker, BMW Pro also shows Measured: 2140mAh +/- 30%

Anyway, I'm thinking of getting and testing a Mugen 1950 battery, Anker indeed feels closer to stock, getting me from 12-18 hours depending on usage (I estimate about 6 hours of fully using the phone, gaming, calls, reading etc, 6 hours with screen on).

Do you guys think I'll see any noticeable differences?
[HTC Sensation] scm_crash:
Probably. My battery lasts ALL day long. No problem at all.
[HTC Sensation] porcupineli:
I think you can try asking them to send you a review unit. I constantly read on twitter that they send it to bloggers. Also good way to improve battery life is described here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1391186

Mugen all the way!

Im running ARHD 6.0.3 XE and when I was doing the full discharges, I had wifi, mobile network, gps, and bluetooth on. With that I had 100% brightness and the timeout set to the longest possible. I constantly stream netflix and pandora is always playing. Text and email every other minute and with that extremely heavy use it took about 18 hours to drain completely, which is phenomenal to me. With average use (wifi and mobile always on, 100% brightness, longest timeout, pandora stream constantly and text and constant emails) i get about 4 days before I have to charge it. My phone is on from 6AM-12am everyday so you can see for yourself. I've had it for awhile and no signs of deterioration and it never gets hot like the stock htc batteries.
[HTC Sensation] LuckyNo13:
I just bought the Anker 1900 and is more than happy with that.

I would definately recommend that instead
[HTC Sensation] Albino Sousa:
do you have the 1950 mah mugen ?

is better than anker ?

thanks
[HTC Sensation] johnannie:
I got this battery and my BWM says that it is a 1700mAh battery. It does last longer than my previous OEM HTC battery, but it's nothing earth shattering. (I am only on day 3 of the battery "training")

My mugen battery goes from 100% to 85% 10 mins off the charger. I hope that this improves.
[HTC Sensation] aw1974:
Give it time. BMW has mine consistently over 2300 after a month and a half of use. Make sure you follow their instructions. My Mugen outlasts both my chichitec and my anker after the break in period.
[HTC Sensation] SensationNation:
I was worried as well when I received the battery, but I went through the conditioning process as they stated, and after about four or five of those cycles, it showed a great improvement over the battery when I received it. I've only put 7 cycles or so on it, so there still may be room for improvement.

TL;DR: Fret not, give it time.

Weird. I've had the complete opposite experience with my Mugen 1950. My stock battery can't even dream of keeping up with the Mugen.
[HTC Sensation] phikal:
Bought the mugen 1950 battery, problem is that it keeps dropping fast from 100 to 85 percent. Am at 4 cycles of loading now.
[HTC Sensation] aw1974:
Give it more time. Trust me, it ends up crushing all the other batteries including Anker.
[HTC Sensation] phikal:
How many cycles of 8/12 hours loading should i do ?

Am thinking about 6 but not sure, any other tips to train the battery ?
[HTC Sensation] aw1974:
Honestly, it took about a week and a half to two weeks for me to REALLY notice its maximum capacity which would be 10-14 cycles. I just charged it overnight for a minimum of 8 hrs and always ran it down to at least 5%. Got it at the end of January and this thing is an absolute beast. No battery worries for me.

You also experienced the fast dropping to 85 percent ?

Anyone here suggest having it from T-Mobile?

It's $7.99 a month...

Is it worth it? I don't get my phone stolen or lost... I always take care of my phones..

Input before bashing!
[HTC Sensation] swellthekitty:
it's completely user preference.

Ask yourself this when trying to decide: "is $ worth it to me in the event that something unfortunate happens to my phone? Do I want to spend $$$ to buy a new one if the problem is not covered by the original warranty?"

Some people have horror stories in dealing with asurion others no problem at all... And remember, the plan does not specify that you'll get a brand new, unused phone, just a comparable phone....so you could end up with a refurbished phone after you're deductible...and who knows if it was ever fixed in the first place!

For me personally, I go with the middle tier insurance (4.79/month+130ded) for the first year because chances are that if I start having problems after that, I'm just gonna go in and get new phone and renew my contract at that point.
[HTC Sensation] SYST3M4T1C:
I got it but that's b/c i work for t-mobile and I've heard so many unfortunate stories

I take care of my phone as well but it's technology...anything can happen
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Have a look at SquareTrade. Way cheaper and covers damages. If they can't fix it, they'll pay you the price you paid for the device. They charage a $124 fee for 2 years of coverage, zero deductible.

Search around online, you probably can find a coupon code to help you get 20-30% off the regular price SquareTrade would charge you for coverage.

Asurion's deductible alone is about as much or more than Squaretrade, plus you'd have to pay Asurion $8/month on top of that.

SquareTrade's protection is also transferable if you sell/give the device to someone else. (Sure to help your resale value on Ebay ;) . )

But ultimately, if you don't have a history of damaging devices, you could save more by simply not buying insurance you don't need. The device does have a 1 year manufacturer's warranty. And there are many cell phone repair shops these days that don't charge much.

So it's up to you. Good thing is that you have plenty of options to choose from.
[HTC Sensation] Behold_this:
Asurion is NOT good insurance! You pay a monthly fee of around $8 and then a $100 (or $150 not sure which) deductible to actually get the phone replaced and they CAN still send you a refurbished phone as a replacement. So you pay for the phone twice and still may get a used POS! Don't waste your money. The standard warranty is a year with just about the same coverage (you just can't be at fault for any damages to get fixed).
