yup for the price of 1 battery $10.99 - i got 2 working ones (second one sent by mistake i believe) and 2 duds... so i could have 4 working batts if i buy an external charger. w00t
[G1 Accessories] oreoOozZz:
So. Many. Batteries.

Just got my other two in from ebay at $4 a pop. They were supposed to be OEM replacements but to my suprise, one of them says "1300mAh Replacement Battery For HTC G1". The other looks like a replica of an OEM battery but you can tell its not OEM. For $8 for both though, who really cares? lol, here's some pics of all my batteries.

"OEM" Replacements From Ebay At $4 A Pop.

Seidio 2600mAh With Extended Back Door $50

Andida "1600mAh" Extended Batteries (2) They are $10 each but i got em $10 for both ;)

And of course, my stock OEM pos bloated HTC battery but you all know what that looks like.

Think i got enough Juice?

:p
[G1 Accessories] k4str0:
I purchased 2 of these batteries. They were cheap and if they don't work as advertised, I could use a couple paper weights. :D
[G1 Accessories] Mikey:
2850??? where?? flat battery door but extended, right?
[G1 Accessories] AdamPI:
That would be this one. It says the back is 13mm, is the normal one 7mm?

I missed one out, there is another 2300 (says same on battery) for £8.99 with a flattish back except it dips down at the top for the speaker and camera, doesn't look anywhere near as stupid as the bulged ones though.
[G1 Accessories] vroomr4:
I bought this

http://cgi.ebay.com/for-T-Mobile-G1...ash=item414863590f&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1262

battery took 7 days to get here in socal. And the battery says 2400mah instead of 2300. Charging it up now and hopefully it works well.

edit:

well i used it for 67minutes with wifi tether on and gps status 2. and it went from 99 to 66 on spare parts. i'm pleased with the performance.

edit2:

Using the oem battery for 67 minutes with wifi tether on and gps status 2 on. It went from 99 to 43 on spare parts. So there is a definite improvement. The tests were not identical in that my internet usage for the oem was not as much. I think I had around 25mb or more downloaded on the aftermarket, and about 14.5mb downloaded on the oem. With the aftermarket I was actually playing tf2 off my tether with 200-300ms lag for about 30min. On the oem I was afk for about 15min, so there was no downloading during that period. I didn't intend this to be some control experiment, but to get a roundabout guess to the increased battery life, so that's why I didn't write all the battery stats down from spare parts and the exact tethering usage. Also even if I wanted to do a control experiment I would not be able to do it at home, the 3g cuts out too often to switch to edge then back again.
[G1 Accessories] uansari1:
Now charge your old battery to 99% and use wifi tether for 67 minutes with gps status 2 and tell us what it drops to.
[G1 Accessories] boomer30:
no change whatsoever..... the label was put on crookedly and as i peeled it, it showed the label of the OEM battery, its a rip-off
[G1 Accessories] boomer30:
look at this badboy....HOLY COW !!!

[G1 Accessories] AdamPI:
That battery is, of course, awesome. Plus the battery cover is the nicest looking. But £46 for a battery is pretty extreme, especially when you consider a 4800mAh battery for the x360 pad can be had for only £2.50
[G1 Accessories] uansari1:
You should definitely file a claim with eBay and Paypal if you used it... not to recover the $6 so much as to get these conartists out.
[G1 Accessories] turboyo:
if its an oem battery its prob wrth more than any of those cheap ones, but im willing to bet they put that sticker over it because they didnt want trouble with people thinking it was an oem one. Now for 6 bucks that pretty much as cheap as a normal back up battery goes for so i wouldnt be complaining since you got what they actually advertised anyway ..

edit just realized boomer is the one that bought the faomy one .. well that sucks ebay would have been a way better deal for you.. But who knows maybe theyre rebadging actual oem ones which wouldnt make it so bad
[G1 Accessories] Tookule4skool:
I never really had a problem with my battery but than again I leave my brightness around 50% and use my phone pretty moderately. For those who do have problems with battery levels just have a charger in the places you most frequent ( work, your car, home, etc. etc.)
[G1 Accessories] Cipherpunk:
I'm going to have to disagree. It just so happens that I bought this battery from the very same eBay merchant about a month ago. The battery I received was so cheap that it was loose inside the phone casing. Every time I flipped open my phone, it would interrupt the power and shut off the phone.

Moral of the story: You get what you pay for. The battery you need to get is made by innocell and will cost you approx. $60.
[G1 Accessories] futango:
Hey guys i received the battery today. I think its a total fake. I peeled back the sticker and this was on the battery "Ht52340ar950mah". If im reading this correct. then this is a only a 950mah battery, lower then the 1150mah stock battery.
[G1 Accessories] boomer30:
Its actually from FOMMY.COM, i tired to return it back to fommy but dealing with these guys that sound like they are from India (nothing racial intended) is something else, at one point i wanted to rip my hair off trying to explain the situiation with them.
[G1 Accessories] phantasm714:
I just received mine as well, although my battery has no writing on it after the "1700 mAh" sticker is peeled back. However it seems fairly low quality: metal battery wrapped in sticker.
[G1 Accessories] futango:
Here is a couple pictures of the Battery.
[G1 Accessories] uansari1:
On eBay, the seller is advertising a 1250mAh battery...
[G1 Accessories] BlackElvis79:
I may have to look into that 1/2" piece. I have chargers strategicly placed all over. I have one at home, one at work, a car charger, one at school, one at my girls house, and usually keep my USB cord in my pocket at all times, it's crazy. The cost I've spent on various chargers would have more than paid for an extended-life battery :D
[G1 Accessories] jlacy76:
So, are there any upgrades worth it in stock size?
[G1 Accessories] acidwashg1:
I ordered the battery in this thread from this ebay seller. I peeled the sticker and while I didn't find the 950mah listed under the sticker, the battery generally sucked. Performed worse than the OEM battery that came with the phone, and it wasn't just the first few uses. I kept the battery for about a week, wearing in the battery by letting it fully discharge and charging it to full. After the week, it still had about 4 hours less battery life than the OEM. Right now it is being shipped back to the ebay seller for a refund.

If you look in this thread, you can find some good links to 1600mah batteries on ebay in the second post. This is the one I bought and am now waiting for. The original poster in the other thread said it looked a little sketchy, but I had to try it. Its coming from china, so give me a few days, but I'll keep you guys in the loop and let you know how it works.
[G1 Accessories] uansari1:
The only oem sized extended battery I have experience with is the Seidio battery. However, I've only tried it with my old Excalibur, where it outperformed the stock battery. I'd bet it works well for the G1 as well.
[G1 Accessories] k4str0:
I almost ordered the Andida 1600mah battery from eBay. Please let us know what you find out about it and whether or not the money is worth it. Thanks :)
[G1 Accessories] ccriffman:
Yea- I paid 34 bucks for that same 1700mah from Fommy.com, and it didn't seem to get me much farther into my day- I just received another battery and cover (2300 mah) and it is awesome- listen to tunes, browse, send text msgs, talk, and by end of day no lower than 60%! Also charges faster, which leads me to believe those 1700mah batteries are suspect. Oh yeh- 2300 and cover, 22 bucks at amazon.com- Chris
[G1 Accessories] acidwashg1:
Finally got time to post this about the Andida battery. I ordered it from ebay seller obo_hk. It took a little less than 2 weeks to ship to Los Angeles, but it was worth the wait. Since I don't have any quantitative tools to measure the actual battery mAh, I thought I'd use the battery uptime before death on each battery and compare that way. I compared the OEM HTC battery and the new Andida battery. Lets do a little math: 1600mAh-1150mAh=450mAh/1150mAh=.3913=39.13%. So the Andida battery should supposedly have about 39% more power than the OEM HTC battery. I've had the Andida battery for a week or so now, and I've been properly wearing in the battery the whole week. For the testing, I charged each battery to full, rebooted (to reset battery uptime), and then proceeded to duplicate this procedure pretty closely for each battery: I turned on wi-fi, bluetooth, turned screen brightness all the way up, played music through headphones at full volume, and ran gps status app with screen timeout disabled. Then I monitored each batteries' uptime (surfed the web while I waited for the phone to die, haha). The OEM HTC battery ran under this load for 165 minutes before dying. The Andida battery lasted 218 minutes! Time for some more maths: 218min-165min=53min/165min=0.3212=32.12% uptime increase for the Andida Battery, compared to the original HTC battery. 32% is a little shy of the supposed 39% but I will take anything I can get. Overall, I'm very happy with the Andida battery and the service from obo_hk was great minus the long wait for shipping from foreign country. This battery gets my seal of approval, hope this review helps someone out there.
[G1 Accessories] AndroidFiend:
im gonna order that andida battery :)
[G1 Accessories] xxvtcxx:
Can anyone verify acidwashg1's findings? I appreciate his testing, but I want to make sure that it is not just a fluke, and that other people are seeing the same results, before I go on and purchase this battery.

Thanks!
[G1 Accessories] :
i ordered one too and it works great
[G1 Accessories] n1ghtl1fe:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350254572578

That one? Does it fit in G1's stock back casing?
[G1 Accessories] :
yes it does
[G1 Accessories] moxiot:
i just ordered one myself. will be posting the findings is about two weeks...
[G1 Accessories] ccriffman:
I got one of these same batteries from "Fommy.com" and it was crap- so I ended up getting a 2300mah battery and cover on Amazon for only $22 and it is great- use phone all day and still have 60% or more left at 7pm - Chris
[G1 Accessories] deovferreira:
I started using the andida battery a few days ago and while I don't have numbers like the other post I have my own experience.

Usually I would charge the G1 every single day, the problem being that sometimes I arrived home with an empty or almost empty battery. Now, under the same workload, I still have to charge it every day because it won't last for two but I still arrive home with something like 30-40% battery, so this seems like the real deal and it does fit the standard g1 case.
[G1 Accessories] coolmarkoo:
where did u get that bettery from? plz share a link
[G1 Accessories] deovferreira:
I got it from the ebay guy mentioned before, here are the links:

i just ordered the http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350254572578

battery as well. im going to test this one out..im excited
[G1 Accessories] xsnipuhx:
I'd like to be post about the Anida(or whatever) battery too. SO NICE! Get it.

3g: on

Gps: on (by mistake)

Usage: atleast 2 hours in hand doing anything, rest is idle in pocket.

Brightness: 30% or less

Time: 3:30AM - around 9:00PM

To me this time frame seems to leave me with still about 20% battery by the end of the day or more.
[G1 Accessories] BamaNZ:
I picked up the Anida battery due to recommendations here. It's kinda hard not to with the price being so cheap. The build quality seems good and it is noticeably larger, however only slightly. So far I'm pleased. I haven't ran any scientific studies, but I have found that the battery does run noticeably longer in comparison to my OEM battery and free battery that came with my desktop cradle. I'm a happy customer and will replace all my future batteries with these batteries.
[G1 Accessories] tf442:
Andida battery

I also recommend the Andida battery. I really doubt it is 1600 mah since it is barely bigger than the stock battery. But, it definitely lasts longer. That may be due to my G1 battery being just about 1 year old, but I am happy with it.
[G1 Accessories] flobin:
Sweet, thanks, I just bought one!
[G1 Accessories] moxiot:
i just received the andida battery 3 days ago and unfortunately for me is just as bad as the oem. sorry, i was really hoping to notice the increase that everyone else has had. maybe is my battery or something but it definitely doesn't add 30% more juice to it. again, that is my personal experience so don't take it as a fact.
[G1 Accessories] deovferreira:
Mine didn't perform well on the first few days either, I guess it takes some charge/discharge cycles for it to get to maximum performance.
[G1 Accessories] n1ghtl1fe:
at least you guys got they damn battery, the boys over there in HONK KONG sent me 3 audio cables instead of the battery. They said theyd correct the problem if i ship back the cables which will cost me a lot more than buying another battery would .......
[G1 Accessories] acidwashg1:
lol, that sucks man! tell them you want a free battery or something, to cover the costs of you having to ship them back their mistake. good luck, hope it all works out.

just a little update about the Andida: I've been using it for a month or so now, and the performance is WAY better than the OEM battery. my example is that I would visit a few friends of mine and stay the night. on the OEM battery (with 3g on) the battery would be dead by 3-4am and I would never be able to use it in the morning on my way back home. with the Andida, I can leave 3g on and survive through the night! I make it back home with 15% left. I can say that my phone use has gone down a bit since I first got the phone. that could be part of the reason that I thought the OEM battery sucked so much. in addition to that, I use the htc breakout box and a car charger in my ride so I can use my phone as an mp3 player. all the extra charging I do because of that means my phone NEVER dies anymore. if anyone is having problems with battery life and wants to keep the stock battery cover, I can recommend an Andida battery with a car charger.
[G1 Accessories] deepside7:
Got my Andida today :)

My battery, from around 830am, to about 12midnight, and i'd have 50% left. So if I forgot to charge at night, i'd have about 15% by the following morning.

I'll keep you posted on how this new andida goes.

DAY1: So far, I have noticed that it takes longer to charge with the andida. I suppose that is a good thing... But so far, it seems exactly the same as the OEM battery. Again, I think that is a good thing, as LiOn batteries are meant to reach full life after 4-5 cycles. So I'm hoping to see some real improvements over the coming week. Consensus: At the very least, it's a good spare OEM equivalent battery.
[G1 Accessories] deepside7:
This battery is definately longer lasting now than the OEM one. I feel it will now last almost 2 whole days instead of 1.4 from before
[G1 Accessories] erlern:
haha... cannot believe it... you guys have convinced me to get Andida batteries.... :)
[G1 Accessories] boomer30:
same here.....hahahahahaha
[G1 Accessories] deepside7:
It's without a doubt worth the 10 or so bucks... I no longer have to worry about my battery dying during the day if i use it heaps..
[G1 Accessories] n1ghtl1fe:
so i sent a ebay message and now they sent me 2 batteries and a usb sd reader all for the same price i paid just for the one battery. haha i dont kno what i am going to do with 2 batteries but looks like i got a aback up too.

as far as battery life increase (been using for a week) theres is defiantly a increse but not as large as i was hoping i dont know about 30-40% like some of you are saying im gonna have to say around 20-25%. I also run KINGS hero rom at 528mhz all the time so that snacks on my battery. either way BUY THIS BATTERY FOR THE PRICE YOU WONT BE DISSAPOINTED
[G1 Accessories] atsic:
i received the battery and using it. It works fine, duration a little bit longer and i can reach easly 20 hours of working. With no using of the gps but all the time wifi on and internet connection with an email checking every 10 minutes. I use it at least for 1-2 hours per day navigation, facebook, and so on.
[G1 Accessories] weiteck:
I ordered the phone just the other day and am waiting for it to arrive. I just ordered one of these Andidas anyway because of the horrible things I've heard about the OEM battery life. From the reviews here, it sounds like a wise decision...

I was considering a big Seidio (the capacity would be great), but I want to use a rubberised hardshell case and I don't believe there's a version that fits the larger back.
[G1 Accessories] BopChie:
wow... hard to believe that a 10 buck bat can be so great... gotta love Hong Kong

i think i'm going to be ordering one tomorrow
[G1 Accessories] SilentTweak:
Anyone want to suggest a cheap spare battery charger for this bad boy?
[G1 Accessories] arjaythomas:
looks like i'm ordering the "andida" I cant go without a case but i need more battery life
[G1 Accessories] tha_bigga78:
Same here...hope it gets here b4 i go out of town!
[G1 Accessories] badaphooko01:
Good luck! I don't know when you ordered it but I ordered mine on 10/15/09 and received it on the 10/28/09 I guess that's not bad, I have had to wait longer for items shipped from China.

So I have been using this battery for 3 days now and so far so good. I have been conditioning it draining it all the way down then turning it off and charging it over night. I have been getting a full day out of it with 3g, wifi turned on. I don't call or text much but I do heavy internet surfing.

I am coming from a 2300mah battery, so I am used to more juice, but I wanted to start using my leather case again and the other battery was way too big. So for 10 bucks its way worth it.
[G1 Accessories] Becksman:
The seller of the Andida Batteries is offering external chargers as well, just look around his items on eBay. In one auction he is selling an external charger including a standard battery for USD 9.90 and somebody asked him whether it was possible to get the charger with the Andida battery instead. Total price the seller quoted is USD 13.90 which I think is pretty fair. You just have to buy the charger and send him a message to ask him to send you a new invoice for the package containing the Andida battery.

Just did that and wait now for it to arrive.

Thanks for the tip regarding the battery.

Becksman
[G1 Accessories] trexxcrap2:
i got my andida battery and its great. i talked on the phone for 45 minutes texted non stop for 3 hours and sat on the internet for about an hour and still had 55 percent battery (on full backlight) and they also included this micro sd keychain that i cant live without now. i love it. (looks like this http://cgi.ebay.com/Mini-USB-2-0-Mi...ge_Internal?hash=item3a512a0a7d#ht_2875wt_939 )

so yeah, everyone needs to jump on it.

Anyone used this one?

edit:

Screw it, I'm ordering one, and I'll let you all know how it does. I remember how much I loved the heft of my treo 755p... still miss that phone sometimes, but the g1 does all the things that I loved it for and more, all it needs is the gigantic battery life, and now it may have it.
[G1 Accessories] prince.siraj:
wow O.O i like the thinness... i just went for the 1600mAh Andida batteries the others have been talking about
[G1 Accessories] dixon_coxon:
Ordered mine 11/02 and got them on 11/17.

Day 1 - Evening of 11/17, Started of at 60% and I drained it charged it overnight

Day 2 - Started of with a full charge, I listen to music on my train ride to work (bluetooth), browsing, and some messaging. talked on the phone for about 1.5hrs during the day listened to more music on my ride back home (30 mins). I still had about 38% juice at the end of the day.

Day 3 (today) - Performance still remains the same

Day 4 - Don't even bother. This battery is awesome!! I'm confident, I can go out all day without carrying a charger on me.
[G1 Accessories] prince.siraj:
wow BEAST BATTERIES :D

repost? nice lol
[G1 Accessories] Chedderknight:
just took it off the charger at 8 this morning before going to school, have it at 100%.

10% brightness

wifi off

3G,

weather, better keyboard, setcpu (528 MHz max), curve fish battery life running the background

used the calculator, browse some sites, made a few calls and texted a couple of people.

as of right now I'm at 92%, I"m in static, with the original battery I would of been atleast at 60%. would definitely recommend this to anyone.
[G1 Accessories] jlacy76:
I decided to go for this one.

http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=m38&_nkw=T-Mobile+G1+HTC+Dream+Extended+Battery+Door+2400mAh

13.50 shipped. It has not arrived yet (but has shipped), it was cheap enough.
[G1 Accessories] prince.siraj:
you mean ECstatic right? lol. wow that's pretty crazy

for 2400mah $13.50 is pretty good. great deal

So with Andida and Dwang ROM I manage to get 2 days with one charge.
[G1 Accessories] strikeoutss:
i have the 1700 mAH battery now. i like the stock size but the life leaves something to be desired, I also have a 2600 mAH batt that i can leave bt, wifi, data, and gps on all day with not a worry about battery life. in fact gone 2 days on that battery with it ending second day at 20%. my 1700 mAH battery ends every day at 20-35 % with no bt, or wifi. always have data and gps on.
[G1 Accessories] prince.siraj:
FYI: it's not really 1700mAh, and is in fact 1600mAh. thus it has good battery life if you know what to expect
