I don't even know if mine would fit because it was crushed (noted bad door in the table). If you have an AT&T Tilt 2, you may need to buy your own extended door and I wouldn't hold your breath on the ebay seller offering any help. Well either way you'll need to buy your own, but make sure you're getting one for the right phone, either a Touch Pro2 or an AT&T Tilt 2.

Here's one, http://www.tiltdepot.com/htc-extended-battery-door/88A89A6194.htm, but it appears to be specifically intended for the 2150 battery and it may or may not be deep enough to handle this 3600-rated battery. Comb through this: http://www.google.com/products?q=extended+door+tilt+2&hl=en&aq=f

If your door is not cracked you may be able to burn a hole through it where the PTT button should be... sucks man.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] d0ugie:
At this point I'd suggest hitting the dealer with a bad feedback, noting the door situation (and maybe mention that the thing won't perform as advertised), with a nasty comment, only offering to retract if you get a refund (either with or without sending it back, up to you), cut your losses and get the 2150 with the right door, an official one, rather than doubling up by buying a door from some other guy that might not fit either.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] freaknormel:
Yes, i mean the backdoor which came with the battery, it doesnt fit. The last shove down just doesn't. Maybe i have to modify it? no one experience with it ?

That battery is very expensive, compared with this one.. the 3600 gives also more battery life ( according to your feedback ) for me its important to survive the desert :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Telek:
Do the holes in the door match exactly with the holes in the original?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] d0ugie:
also by not fit do you mean it's not deep enough for the thicker battery (can you get it on there without any battery in it), do the holes not line up because you have a Tilt 2 (which phone do you have?) or does it simply not click in there with the grooves?

I suggested the 2150 because if the alternative, barring making your own lid or taping or using glue or whatever, may be buying one of those covers I linked, and between the twenty you dropped on the battery and another twenty you may drop on a deeper cover that might turn out not to work, might as well try to leverage out a refund with negative feedback and then spring for the OEM, though yeah, you'll get a couple more hours out of this one..

Just want to know which phone you have so I can warn people on the site.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] freaknormel:
Its fixed now.. i just had to push harder ..Very harder..thanks for the support.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] DeathmonkeyGTX:
Hey dude, using my 2150 while camping/not using the phone much and only on 2G since there's no 3G out in the sticks, I get several days of battery. When I only use it for GPS position reports every 4 hours, that goes up to a couple weeks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] :
guys I now it's a stupid question...but please help me if you have time to!! :)

I've been googling for about 3 hours now.. where to get the 2150mah + battery door for my ITALIAN (so, GSM, NOT CDMA) touch pro2 (RHOD100)??

I only find back covers for t-mobile, verizon, at&t...don't know which one fits my phone. :( it's a very confusing situation...

Is there any official htc store where to buy it?

TIA to everybody :)

edit: just FYI, italian TP2 does NOT have the 3.5mm heaphone jack, and does NOT have the PTT button either
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] stevedebi:
Did you actually find a cover for the T-Mobile version? Could you provide a link?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] :
I mostly found At&t or sprint version, but I don't know if they are compatible with t-mobile... :( it's too messy, I don't understand which one is good for me!

have a look with google, it's easy to find many f this back doors. if I only knew which one is good for me...

EDIT: here's an extended battery + cover for T-Mobile:

www.thinktouchpro2.com
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] stevedebi:
That is the $80 Mugen battery, according the the first couple of posts, it is actually about 2400 ma. I suspect they welded a couple of 1100 together. Anyway, out of my price range. Also, that is one thick phone cover!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] :
I'm sorry Sir, I didn't check T-mobile-related products and tests (I use an italian -so it should be gsm- TP2) :(

still, it looks like this extended 2150mAh battery isn't made for Euro users... ;(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] stevedebi:
I think it might fit, do you have a PTT button? Otherwise, I imagine it would fit under one of the large rear covers sold on ebay.

The US T-Mobile version won't work because for some idiotic reason, only that particular model (Rhodium 210) has a small back cover - all other TP 2 have a cover that extends all the way down around the phone. The T-Mobile cover only snaps on top of the rear.

The US T-Mobile also has a different front screen - it extends out to the edge of the phone, whereas the other versions bevel the edges.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] computhug:
I can confirm that the new EVO 4G uses the same standard OEM battery as the Touch Pro 2 (1500 mAh, model RHOD160). Only diff is it's red instead of black.

LOL, so my $599 TP2 gets a new lease on life as a battery charger and I've got a spare for the new phone, at least until I can get a buyer on Craigslist for it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] :
no ptt button here on RHOD100 T7373 :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] d0ugie:
expanding to Hero and Incredible

Turns out that batteries for both the Hero and the Incredible fit in a TP2. Just ran a Hero no name rated at 3200mAh, scored poorly; doing the second test now.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] DeathmonkeyGTX:
Y0 Doug, hit me up when it's been 6 months since the last time you tested my 2150. I'll send it back to see what kind of wear 6 months of heavy use does to it and whether or not it's worth it to procure another one. Not upgrading the TP2 until there's a slider QWERTY HTC with a tilting screen and Snapdragon that 6.5 (21xxx) will work on. It's going to be a while until WinMo 7 has enough software available to pirate on the scene, so until then I'm going to keep rockin' the pirate special.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Telek:
Yeah MS really screwed the pooch on WinPhone7. No multitasking anymore and they even removed copy/paste to make the UI "simpler".

Nuts to that. Android will probably be on my next cellphone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] d0ugie:
seller turned to the dark side

I've received two complaints that the ebay seller for the TP2 OEM 1500mAh which performed well for me sold them used/DOA batteries. If any of you bought the battery from this guy too and are at all suspicious that it isn't legit please let me know. This may not have been just two innocent mistakes, and if that's the case I want to shut him down and to do that I need your help.

To any of you who got screwed, I'm sorry. This sucks.

ISO standalone charger -- stat!

Can anyone find a link for a standalone charger made or sold by HTC? Need to give my ol' lady the phone and I'd rather not fry my N1 by trying to wire the contacts up to charge TP2-sized batters. Got a fuze but it only has three pins.

Must be OEM, cannot use cheapo third parties as they may not work the same as something sanctioned by HTC, gotta use the same methods and so on for all the batteries. Gotta have those four pins.

Thanks..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Telek:
3 pins are all that is needed even for a proper charge - I'm not even sure what the 4th pin is but it's likely just another ground. Considering that most 3rd party chargers only use 2 pins you're probably safe with one that (actually) uses 3.

I haven't heard of any HTC charger, but really a 3rd party charger will work just as well (even based off of the tests that you've done, no?)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] stevedebi:
I got an inexpensive one off ebay and it works fine.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] d0ugie:
Got one, thank you shawn..

TP2 for HTC Desire?

I was read you statement here

My Question which type of TP2 battery that suitable for HTC Desire? can you give me the Right TP2 Product URL? so I can get it one?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] MRFERRARI23:
Battery info!!

can anyone give any input about the Amzer 1800mah slim battery for the EVO?? I'd like to buy an extended battery for it that fits perfectly but dont know which ones good?? I was looking at the Seidio 1750mah and the Amzer one... anyone please?? Does anyone even have the Amzer one??

Here's the link to the Amzer one..

http://store.cheapdroids.com/Amzer-1800-mAh-Lithium-Ion-Standard-Battery-evo.html
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] d0ugie:
You're not the only one who wants me to run that Amzer battery. But you'd be the first to step up and offer to buy it to be sent to me first to test after which I'd fedex it straight to you, if you're interested. Interested?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] jpwjpw123:
I think that is a mistake, the battery looks a different size and the contacts are at the top, not at the side.

The N1 and Desire batteries ARE the same however...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] vMAC:
I'm interested as long as you can promise / assure me that I will get my battery back ASAP and in good shape. Shoot me a PM if you can agree to this with your phone number and I will call you. If we can work out a deal I will get one sent Next Day to you so you have it on Monday.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] rotohammer:
I've sent Doug several batteries, he works as fast as he can to do the tests, and ships the battery out promptly as promised.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] d0ugie:
I appreciate the offer. While I want to run this battery, it seems you want it more and you want it pronto. I'd need to run it three times, probably just three, but if, for example, this Amzer company started *****ing that I didn't deep cycle it enough, I'd want to run it a forth time. And then there's a chance like with Jeremy's two Mugens that it could turn into a back and forth with you, me and Amzer if you wanted to try to squeeze out a refund from them were the battery to prove not to be nearly as good as they claimed.

That would, if everything went smoothly, take me a good three days to turn it around to you so when you add on whatever shipping method you want me to use it sounds like too tall an order on you given your timetable. So thanks but go ahead and buy it for yourself, I've got another EVO on the way and maybe by the time I'm done with that I'll have another, hopefully the Amzer since everyone's talking about it, on the way.

For the record, all of those names on the table are people who got their batteries as pledged, fedexed too unless they said otherwise. Among the things I've spent a lot of money on is postage. I let people know when I receive the battery, the results of each test as I finish each individual test and when their battery is in the mail with a tracking number. If I were taking my time with everyone's batteries, sitting on them for a while, it would by now have damaged my reputation pretty significantly and visibly. Critical to this operation that people feel confident they'll get their batteries back as promised otherwise I'd have to buy them all myself which isn't an option.

Again though, thanks for the offer. Please report back your own impressions as you've begun to use it and compare it to the stock.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] jauhari:
You said on you BatteryBoss.org that this product

http://www.amazon.com/HTC-Extended-Li-Ion-Battery-RHOD170/dp/B002Y24MJ2

Able to use this product in HTC Desire, my question is, does we need extra back cover? or we can use the original HTC Desire back cover?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] vMAC:
Well three days wouldn't be a problem, even two weeks. Just don't want the battery to go AWOL for like a month. Let me me know if you still want it as I will only order if you want to test. Otherwise I'm not going to buy it until we get a good test on it. Let me know though and I can get it sent.

Thanks for all the hard work, Doug. I'm eagerly awaiting your results on the OEM battery for the EVO. It will determine whether I purchase a second OEM battery for the EVO or a battery like the 1750mAh Seidio.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] powinmo:
I've been meaning to follow up on this one for a while. I bought one from this same vendor in mid May 2010. Battery looked new and was "sealed" (not that means much these days). So far seems to match rated capacity. I use it as a spare battery so it gets swapped in maybe twice a week so I do not use it regularly enough to confirm any long term issues.

Does anyone know of a reliable source for reasonably priced OEM batteries then if the original ebay seller is now off the recommended list? Short of having to order directly from a carrier's accessories web site and pay full retail - which obviously gives you some level of assurance you are getting OEM.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] arkantoz:
Please, what battery should i get and what shouldn't?

I don't understand the table, so please i need to buy by amazon a better battery than the original i have, Can you recommend a battery? My original battery sucks, only 6 hours live, without WI-FI.

Can you tell me what shouldn´t buy?

Thanks.

P.D. Sorry for my poor english, i post from Venezuela, there is not Technical Support here.

My Phone: HTC PRO 2, CDMA / GSM

Interested in testing another 3500 for the Evo?

I got the shipping notice today, and I'd be very interested in knowing what capacity the battery actually has. I'd be happy to send it on to you for testing. Do you want me to break it in (3 full cycles)? Or just send it right off?

If you want another data point, let me know.

hi guys.. i recently bought a mugen Power Batteries for my Touch Pro2. the extended 1800mah model.

here is my screenshot.

is this consider good enough?

UPDATE : i suspend my device. the battery level dropped from 54% all the way to 30% straight away. it was juz a 2 minutes suspend. FYI, i turned off the auto suspend timer. then i suspend it again. and on bak after a while, my battery dropped to 20% immediately. while suspend again.. because im hauling it to go out. the 20% hold me for 1 hour. then died.

the whole process. 100% -> 30%. it shows +-1100mah. but from 30% drop to 0%. it shows +- 250mah. ended up. my brand new MUGEN shows about 1400mah.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] horizons1:
Got my TP2 OEM Extended from discountcell yesterday. The new battery door isn't as obnoxious as I had expected. Looking forward to having some life left after a long airplane flight watching movies next week.

Question on "breaking in" the battery. I have read a bunch of threads and some advice (no surprise) contradicts others. My understanding is that I should follow these steps. Note, I do not have an external charger:

1. Charge the battery with the phone on

2. When the indicator turns green, unplug and turn off phone

3. Reconnect and charge again until indicator turns green

I am guessing that the reason for doing it this way is to train the software battery gauge and it may read 10)% before the battery is fully charged. So turning off the phone lets you charge up any remainder without telling the software you are charging. Is that right?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] freaknormel:
You can find the htc 2150 MAH battery, for much cheaper here

http://www.myreplicaphone.com/

$ 28.90
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] worwig:
Months ago I bought a combo deal, which was an external battery charger and two 1500 mahr batteries. I know at the time that the batteries were easily only 1100 mahr, but for $12, I figured that would make good spares.

Recently, I've noticed that my battery has not been lasting is long as it used to.

Where I work, we actually have a battery test setup. You can set any discharge current level and set any voltage end point. (it does not charge) Using 500ma discharge and an end voltage of 3 volts, I measured the old original battery and one of the fairly new replacements. I used 500ma, because lower would have taken too long, and higher doesn't really represent actual phone drain. Plus we often test batteries at a .5C rate, so that isn't too far out of line. I didn't even think about the best voltage level to drain to. One of our customers wants us to use 3 volts for their LiIon batteries, everything was set to 3 volts, so I used 3 volts. This was just one of those 'I think I'll do this', and not well thought out. But, it gives me a set of numbers to base other batteries on.

It turns out that my old original 1500mahr as now 1186mahr. I wish I knew the original number. And one of the cheap after markets measures 1257mahr.

I need to find a cheap true 1500. The battery life difference is very noticeable.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] schumifer1:
Doug, am i to understand you are no longer into this? Haven't seen a post since June, and the evo 4g 3000 maH is still in "on its way" status. Any news?

Also, just fyi, some of the ebay links now show much cheaper batteries. You think that would mean something for their quality?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] vilks:
What about this battery?

http://cgi.ebay.com/Mugen-Power-Ext...ccessories&hash=item51952aaa73#ht_2043wt_1139

Is it realy good and long life time?

And what about other cheap batteries from ebey for 3 dollars. These battaries are crap?

And what battery should i buy from ebey, if i want the cheapest price, but good as original, just the same.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] anit77:
BTW if you are interested in taking this on I can send you links to pages that will give you all the info you need and will ever want to know about batteries.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Telek:
Either of those voltmeters will do you fine (I'd prefer the 2nd one) but if you're going to hit up a local electronics store for the resistor they will certainly have something cheap that will work as well.

This page is quite interesting:

However...

http://www.radicalrc.com/shop/?shop=1&cat=179&

If I read this correctly their FlowMeter1 is EXACTLY what you want and even gives you the total mAh - and it's only $30! You'll still need the 10ohm resistor but it looks like it calculates everything for you.

Keep in mind that the cutoff voltage for the phone is really irrelevant to the mAh claim of the battery. It'd be useful for telling us how much power the battery is able to provide to the phone, and comparing different batteries real use performance, but it will most likely always be less than the claimed mAh output of the battery.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Telek:
I don't know WHAT has been going on with this forum but EVERY time I try to use the quick reply it seems like it tries to post it twice.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] d0ugie:
shopping cart

Well with this thing I'd need the gender bender thing, right? No I wouldn't, I'll have to shave up the wires. Then I need to come up with some kind of way to get the wires of the device nestled onto the contacts of the battery (scotch tape I guess) and the wires on the other end of this device either to the contacts of the phone or to the 10 ohm resistor. Doing it with the phone I turn the phone on, making it do battery-intensive stuff to save time and see how high that mAh meter rises until the phone finally dies. The phone would be good for values more relevant to us, though the resistor would provide a consistent rate of discharge which could yield less error and I'd stop the clock when it hits the minimum cutoff voltage (which is yet to be determined with this phone, about 3600mV maybe?). Also I'd still be able to use my phone during that time.

Once you two guys agree on something I'll just order it and do some trial runs. Can't just approach the admins or mods for a sticky request on a fund raiser to get me equipment I may end up failing to use right, I'll front whatever it is. When I smooth out the kinks and read a few debates on other threads about whether or not you have to charge and discharge a battery several times to get the most out of it, once I can clock my HTC 1500mAh battery in the neighborhood of 1500mAh, then I'll proceed to the third party. Still unclear about whether to just let the thing run on the resistor until the mAhs stop rising or to stop when it hits the cutoff voltage, or even maybe what that means, but I suppose I'll do whatever yields the closest result of the HTC battery to 1500. Or I do tests for each to be fair to the manufacturer but I think HTC's out to be the gold standard if I'm saying that and understanding this correctly.

So. The Flowmeter I and the 10 ohm resistor. Anything else?
