[Legend Accessories] EP2008:
Even if it is the placebo effect, I'm able to use my phone from 7am until 2am the next day without charging and I'm happy with that!

When I have time, I'll be testing the OEM battery again with my current setup to compare the differences.

Over the last few days, I've been battling apps that dont play nice (i.e the new Facebook app that won't allow the phone to sleep), so my results have varied, but still remain very good.
[Legend Accessories] romandd:
Someone can try with full charged battery (Original and Mugen), play a movie and see after xx:xx time the % of battery.

Thanks.
[Legend Accessories] Sckank:
I can do it. Maybe not today, but I will :)
[Legend Accessories] EP2008:
Quick update... I've been able to go from 5am to 2am with regular use (web browsing, email, phone calls, games, etc.) with the extended battery and today I decided to go with the original again (I've had it on charge all night).

As of 4pm, I'm down to 23% with the Original battery with my standard use... not very good.

So it looks like the extended battery is doing well.

The only complaint is that because it's slightly thicker (less than 1mm) it's more difficult to remove from the case. If that little red battery eject button were to ever break, I'd be screwed! LOL :D
[Legend Accessories] Learners Lisence:
All said and done i hope its available in all countries in local stores.

I still havent been able to get an sd card of class 4 or above. I dont buy things online, i dont have a credit card.
[Legend Accessories] EP2008:
Where are you located? They shipped to me in Canada without any problems, but I doubt you'll find these batteries in stores.

Class 4+ should be easy to find, but I guess it depends where you live.
[Legend Accessories] paulsmid:
Mugen battery is working perfect for me, I use now three weeks, big improvement compared to standard battery.:)

Paul
[Legend Accessories] romandd:
Thanks. I'll wait, and after result decide if update or not the battery. ;)
[Legend Accessories] EP2008:
After a few more days of using the Original battery, I have no doubt in my mind that the extended battery was worth the money. I've had a "medium-use" day today and as of 4:30pm, I'm down to less than half my battery power... this won't last the rest of the day.

From now on, I'll be keeping the extended battery in my phone for good :)
[Legend Accessories] benbird7:
New here, but I have just got an HTC legend (wanted to desire) but vodafone didnt have it, offered me a great 12 month contract on this handset.

I extract from a webpage that the battery for the HTC Droid Incredible is the same as the HTC Legend?

hXXp://wwX.mugenpowerbatteries.info/epages/es109514.sf/en_AU/?ObjectPath=/Shops/es109514_es120302495377/Products/HLI-ERISSL

HLI-ERISSL

Standard-size Enhanced Capacity 1800mAh Battery for HTC Droid Eris (Eris 6200), HTC Wildfire, Google G6, Verizon Droid Incredible, HTC Legend, HTC A6363, Vodafone HTC Legend.

Li-ion 3.7V, 1800mAh

Colour: Black

Replacement for: BB00100 - 35H00127-02M - 35H00127-04M, 35H00127-05M, 35H00127-06M - BTR6200 - BA-S440 (1300mAh)

Therefore would searching ebay "MUGEN 1800mAh HTC DROID incredible" work in the HTC legend? One of the auctions finish in about an hour :) not 100% sure though, although in comparison that works out at £27 for a battery that's getting some pretty good reviews within this thread.
[Legend Accessories] brunswick000:
benbird7,

You could just go to the Mugen website and order directly from them. If they have a battery that fits the Legend it would be easily found there. Seems like a better plan to me.
[Legend Accessories] casca:
i don't know about you guys...but with stuff like this...i don't feel very confortable in buying from mugen...

http://mobilitydigest.com/whats-wrong-with-this-picture/

2 batteries of 1200mah sold as 3000mah???wtf?

(source http://batteryboss.org/)

damn...isn't anyone honest any more ?
[Legend Accessories] benbird7:
Done that

hXXp://wXw.mugenpowerbatteries.info/epages/es109514.sf/en_US/?ObjectPath=/Shops/es109514_es120302495377/Products/HLI-LEGENDXL

Out of stock, expected stock on 28th Aug, but that's not guaranteed.
[Legend Accessories] EP2008:
I'm sure there's an explanation for that... LOL

Ultimately, the decision is up to the user. Some people see things like that and they will still purchase the battery. I see people buying $5 lithium batteries online off ebay and they take the risks.

For me, I've only used a Seidio extended battery before, but since they don't make batteries for the Legend, I went with Mugen. I've had success with their battery and it was steal cheaper than getting a second OEM battery.

I'd like to see the battery boss test regular batteries (like AA, AAA, 9V, etc.) from various brands to see how they perform. I'm sure the variance would be HUGE! LOL
[Legend Accessories] benbird7:
I'm really surprised that with all this modern technology, these manufacturers haven't come up with a "supercell" battery that litterally allows a phone to run for weeks under normal use.

It seems the technology is progressing in terms of the size and capabilities of the phones, maybe the batteries should also catch up with it?

Obviously this is only speculation, but since we now have a phone which has much greater processing power/ram etc than a late 90's computer I would of thought we would of progressed better with the batteries.

Check out this PC from Comets 1999 summer sale!

[Legend Accessories] EP2008:
The problem, I think, is that chip manufacturers and battery manufacturers are two separate things. The guys that build processors are far out pacing the battery guys and to them, slowing down would be bad.

I would much rather have a "slow" phone that lasts for 3 days than a really powerful one that can't make it lunch without needing to be charged.
[Legend Accessories] benbird7:
My N73 that I use as a works phone literally lasts about 5/6 days, I have everything turned off inc bluetooth and use only 2g network helping it last that long.

Trouble is everyone complaining about the battery life of their latest handsets have evolved to expect better battery life because of older less power hungry phones that they've become used to, that werent capable of wifi or 3g.

I hope they develop something sooner rather than later, can you imagine the marketing gimmick releasing a phone that was capable of lasting 21days standby and 5 days talk time, the likes of Samsung and the big boys must have some money to spare to invest a little more heavily in this area?!
[Legend Accessories] TheLegendaryJay:
Check out the phone! :D
[Legend Accessories] pfak:
Has anyone credible actually received this battery, and have more than anecdotal evidence regarding it's lifespan?
[Legend Accessories] casca:
i think we can look at the battery boss analysis and take our own conclusions mate... :(
[Legend Accessories] ikdegek:
I told several times now, I work now 1 month with new battery, improves 'life' with 30-50%, so worth investment for me..
[Legend Accessories] Learners Lisence:
Thats true for each user with any feature or accessory.

PS -long time no see, casca. thanks for stopping by. your signature is impressive.

excuse moi for off topic content.
[Legend Accessories] casca:
wasup! Are the Legends rolling @ full speed or what? :D
[Legend Accessories] benbird7:
Well got my ebay MUGEN 1800mAh HTC DROID incredible battery, works fine in the HTC Legend and already seen a performance increase from stock battery after first charge of I would say like ikdegek a 30-50% improvement, although haven't done direct comparisons in terms of how long each battery fully charged lasts on a cycled movie, but then again it wouldn't be fair doing that until the mugen has been bedded in with at least 3 full charge cycles.

Another thing I note with the Mugen battery is that my phone doesn't get no where near as hot when charging compared to the stock battery?! - Strange but true in my case anyway.
[Legend Accessories] Linols:
Did you buy this one? "cgi.ebay.de/MUGEN-1800mAh-BATTERY-FOR-VERIZON-HTC-DROID-INCREDIBLE-/350393789656?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item519518ecd8"

I want to be sure it works with my Legend.

This is very interesting. The stock battery is getting quite hot when im using navigation and charging it at on time in my car. Maybe this isn't a problem with the new one.
[Legend Accessories] NeoXhk:
Hi all, could you tell us the link where you got Mugen 1800mAh battery?

Thanks.
[Legend Accessories] Tommebaas:
I got my Mugen battery this week.

It's the one called MUGEN 1800mAh BATTERY FOR VERIZON HTC DROID INCREDIBLE but it fits in the htc legend!

If you hesitate about buying the battery you could ask some questions.

the battery life is much much better now!
[Legend Accessories] NeoXhk:
Where did you bought the battery?
[Legend Accessories] Tommebaas:
ebay.

just search htc droid incredible battery 1800 and you will find it.
[Legend Accessories] tommy34:
1800 mah battery for htc incredible /evo/ touchpro2 works on legend. (It is not a mugen one)

increase (normal usage) from 1 day to 3 day!

e.g.: http://cgi.ebay.nl/2x1800mAh-Batter...044647?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3361513767
[Legend Accessories] frullewulle:
@tommy34:

Same dimensions? No problems to get the back closed?
[Legend Accessories] Sckank:
No problem.
[Legend Accessories] BlaY0:
Hmm, I have some problems. When I drain my battery nearly to the 0 and then trying to recharge it, it never reaches 100%. It is like 90% or less and like it would be charging indefinitely (amber light) but if I power my gizmo off the light goes green almost instantly and when booted again battery is at 100%. Anyone experiencing this?
[Legend Accessories] Sckank:
Mine works perfect :)
[Legend Accessories] marclh1992:
Have you tried wiping your battery stats? (I assume that you are rooted?)

Swyped from my Legend using XDA App.
[Legend Accessories] BlaY0:
Sure... doesn't help me at all.
[Legend Accessories] frullewulle:
i bought mine from chi chi on ebay

http://cgi.benl.ebay.be/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220676044647&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_4820wt_1060

(don't think it is a mugen)

and clearing batt stats indeed doesn't make any difference.

i removed the red paper cover so that the battery fits better in my legend

the first time that i put the battery with the cover, i almost couldn't get it out again

battery doens't last much longer then original one from

only weird thing that i have is that the phone suddenly shuts down, sometimes i get it up and running again when i put the battery deeper into the phone

someone else having the same problem?
[Legend Accessories] zorro12010:
How do you get the 1800 mAh out of the legend, it seems to be stuck in there? I received two batteries and would like to change the battery when the other one is empty.
[Legend Accessories] frullewulle:
it isn't something you will do a lot but you can do that with a knife and the tiny little red thing that we use to release the original battery

and a lot of patience :mad:
[Legend Accessories] pfak:
Bought that battery off of eBay. It barely fits, and I'd rather not break my phone so I took it out (even after removing the paper.)

The person that said to buy these is full of crap, I just wasted $30 for no reason.
[Legend Accessories] frullewulle:
I have the same feeling!
[Legend Accessories] PresidentJFJ:
It doesn't fit all well as the stock battery but if you just give the phone a little shake it should come out with no problem. Its an average battery id say. Does help with battery but not worth every penny. For the price of the battery and legend you could almost buy a desire
[Legend Accessories] gregnapola:
Hi all,

Yesterday I received 2 EVO 4G's batteries for my Legend and I've been trying it for about a day... Once removed the RED label on it it fits normally in my Legend without forcing it; I cannot tell if it's working well, but sometimes my phone randomly reboots or powers off and I need to take out and re-insert the battery to power it on again...And this is really frustrating :mad: Maybe it's a SW problem, I'm currently running MVZ SuperFroyo 8.4.2 Rom...

Anyone else had a similar experience ?

EDIT: Sorry, didn't read this:
[Legend Accessories] frullewulle:
they don't start at all anymore in my case !
[Legend Accessories] Asovse1:
I don't plan on buying a Mugen battery, but what about these?

Can I trust them?

http://cgi.ebay.ca/Battery-HTC-Lege...ccessories&hash=item4cf2f3f685#ht_3251wt_1139
[Legend Accessories] Tommebaas:
There is nothing wrong with the Mugen Battery.

The 1800 MAH version works really nice!

I can recommend this to people who want a better battery.
[Legend Accessories] gregnapola:
Mine is not a Mugen , it's HTC Evo 4G battery....and it doesn't work as it would...maybe I've been unlucky... :(
[Legend Accessories] Tommebaas:
Also with the Mugen battery there is a some sort of wire so you could pull the battery out. So the battery wont get stuck!
[Legend Accessories] PinAV:
This (power tutor (is in the market)) program shows that my Mugen 1300 mA. Bought in early October on off site. Is 2 months of work, she lost 500 mA? It is a deceit of 1800?
[Legend Accessories] parker09:
Brought the battery tonight, hopefully it doesn't take ages to get out to Australia, says they're out of stock but will be shipped on the 4th of January, 2011.
[Legend Accessories] madmatts87:
After using the Mugen Power battery for about 4 weeks I've gone back to using my stock Legend battery.

The Mugen Power is good as a second battery, but for me I get more life out of the stock battery. It's definitely not all it's cracked up to be.
[Legend Accessories] parker09:
I purchased the battery on the 28.12.2010 and recieved my Mugen Battery [1800mAh] today(4.1.2011). Today I took my HTC Legend (stock battery specifically) off the charger at 6:30am and checked the battery at 6pm and it was down to 11% according to the device. At 7:00pm I chucked the Mugen Battery in and keeping it on charge for 8-12 hours as per the instructions so I'll be taking the phone off the charger at around 7am tomorrow morning.
[Legend Accessories] beggar23:
Any news here? :)
[Legend Accessories] parker09:
-----

Today:

Time on: 15h 36m 50s since reboot this morning.

Battery left: 66%

Have to say it's pretty damn awesome, 40 minutes of Google Reader this morning on the 3G network, 22 minutes on WiFi this afternoon

The Mugen battery was a great investment so far! Usually it'll be close to read at this point in the day.
[Legend Accessories] Dr.Romca:
I just received the battery, so far so good! First day -10% only (4 calls, 20 min on WiFi, few SMS's, installed some apps, just a regular day..)

Just a tip for new users: Clear your batt stats before you switch it!
[Legend Accessories] lollazzo:
How to clear batt stats?
[Legend Accessories] Dr.Romca:
Go to ClockWork recovery if you have ROM Manager or use FakeFlash, navigate to Advanced / clear batt stats ;)
[Legend Accessories] parker09:
What does clearing the battery stats do aside from the obvious? And more so what advantages will it have?
[Legend Accessories] Dr.Romca:
Each battery (and I mean even amongst stock batteries) has a different Internal Resistance, thus a different current can be driven from it while the voltage is on a given level and vice versa... (Internal resistence usually grows as the battery gets older)

Therefore if the system is to accurately tell you what percentage of your battery's capacity is left, it has to know the battery's parameters...

It tells by measuring the exact voltage of the battery and comparing it to the "battery fully charged" voltage.

By clearing bat statts you force system to measure these parameters once again thus making the actual battery level more precise ;)
[Legend Accessories] parker09:
Thanks for the information.

Just cleared mine and will redo the process on the Mugen instructions.
[Legend Accessories] lollazzo:
the mugen batteries are better than the default?
[Legend Accessories] Dr.Romca:
Actually you don't need to "re-format" the battery, it's just a hardware thing, the only thing you need to do is clear those stats and reboot...

It is by far for me! My legend lasted 5 straight days for the very first full charging cycle. I used the phone as usual during those five days...And when connecting the charger, I had even 14 % left...

but beware, don't discharge the battery to 0%, Li-Ion batteries don't like that ;)
[Legend Accessories] parker09:
Awesome thanks for that :D
[Legend Accessories] madmatts87:
Not for me, mine is about the same as the stock Legend battery
[Legend Accessories] Dr.Romca:
Did you properly format the battery and clear the batt stats?

The mugen battery is now running my legend 5th day and there is 24% left...
[Legend Accessories] lollazzo:
5 days? I want it. How much it cost?
[Legend Accessories] parker09:

Yes, it's USD but you can change the currency used to 10+ different types including AUD, EURO, GBP etc.

Mine is at the post office right this second. Ill be getting my 1800 mAh battery in a few hours. Excited. I dont do too much on my phone so i know i will see increase of some kind. Cant wait.
[Legend Accessories] randomXP:
I have the Mugen battery for about 4 months now. I see no improvement whatsoever. I formatted 3 or 4 times at the beginning, as they said. The battery lasts 2 days at most, with light usage only. In heavy usage I get at most 10 hours.
[Legend Accessories] rootdude:
I'd love to know what kind of world you live in where a battery lasting two days is some kind of disappointing failure. It's been years since I've had a phone that I didn't have to, want to or need to charge every night or worry that I wouldn't make it through a second day. My Mugen 1800 seems to work well - and better than stock - though I haven't seriously tested runtimes. Just feels more robust.
[Legend Accessories] speedyink:
hmm, my legend gets 2 days with the original battery when I'm not using it a bunch. The only time it didn't last a full day for me was right when I got it. That said I'd love to try this mugen battery to see the results.
[Legend Accessories] dragonthl:
oh sh1t, i just ordered it and see this code too late. :(
[Legend Accessories] nikst4:
nevermind, this code doesn´t work (anymore)
[Legend Accessories] branch8:
For all that claim their newly bought battery is better than their old one. Batteries deteriorate over time! The only way to get a decent (but still unaccurate) comparison is to compare batteries of the same age (usage time) en compare them on the same clean phone running a test program. Haven't you ever had a battery die on you very quickly without finding a reason why it happened? Comparing batteries in daily use scenario's is completely useless unless you're taking averages from large enough number of devices.
[Legend Accessories] amvv:
5 days?!!! seems gr8...

do u use wifi often or not?
[Legend Accessories] lollazzo:
this battery is bad
[Legend Accessories] Dr.Romca:
I beg to disagree, I'm running my legend 3rd day and still have 62% of battery left. Granted I use ATK and not much of a wifi these days(I'm now only using it as a regular phone + ebook reader, but with white on black...), but it lasts much longer now...And if I'm leaving home with only 20% battery in the morning I can be sure it will last the full day with no problems...Last time I plugged the phone in it had 6% left...

As I've said, not much of a wifi, mobile data off most of the time, I use it as any cell nowadays...
[Legend Accessories] madmatts87:
By the sounds of it, Mugen are very inconsistent with their battery quality then.

I'm one of the unlucky ones with poorer performance. I've found my stock battery to last longer, while the mugen battery can get very hot with heavy use.

I can squeeze 2 days out of the stock battery with B.07, setCPU, and tasker controlling data.
[Legend Accessories] jahadmajeed:
Got mine...

Received the battery a week back, followed the instructions for charging... I get almost the same performance as the old battery, no substantial improvement...

I use wifi all day when at home and 3g outside, heavy use with 7-8 calls daily... I feel the battery life depends on your use. I now use one as secondary battery when the other runs out of juice, that keeps me happy. :)

On unrooted Legend, so haven't cleared batt stats...
[Legend Accessories] aLcH3m!sT:
Guys, It is said not to ever bring the charge to zero for the battery! Why is that? Because i bought this battery and after my second charge of 14 hours, it just went off during the night and when i put it back on charge and restarted the phone, it was showing 1%. Is there something wrong about that??

And also is it necessary that i format the phone, to reset the battery stats? Because mine is the stock HTC froyo....

Any sugestions could help....
[Legend Accessories] starscream.:
*edit* mistake made.
[Legend Accessories] tosta_people:
Anyone here gott lucky with this battery?
[Legend Accessories] krisxda:
it is definitely an upgrade !!

I've been using mugen 1800 mAH for over an year now..

here is what i experienced.. first i was using the stock rom in legend, i used to get two days of battery life (with normal use full data and sync and normal calls)

Yes, over a year its life reduced, it started becoming a day and half but could manage squeezing to 5% on day 2.

Recently I switched to CM7.2 RC0 and started using infolife's battery defender and advanced task killer, now back again I could find it stays without charging for more than 2 days !!

over all .. this battery is definitely a worthy upgrade
[Legend Accessories] Asovse1:
Thank you for sharing your input! Though I'm surprised that CM 7.2 (KANGed, I assume?) offers an improvement in battery life over the previous version. Maybe it's just me.
[Legend Accessories] krisxda:
yes, if you are looking for a longer battery life, the way u use the phone with the type of OS and application also matters a lot..

i meant it's obvious sense ui take more battery that adw. Also the cpu governer setting you have used.
