Just took my Touch Pro 2s battery and cut off the plastic tabs. Powers on the device just fine. Not a very comfortable fit in the compartment tho. Its a bit bulgy with the cover on but not by much, tho I did have to pull the lock into place, it didn't just pop in like with the stock battery. I'll try this for a while and post my results.

The TP2s battery last considerably longer, but I cant stomach the battery door strain. I honestly think the battery I got with my G2 is a lemon. I'll be getting a Seidio soon.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] graffixnyc:
I ordered the Seidio Innocell 1700mAh battery to try out. I will post my results although I'll have to wait until 5 charges to condition the battery (Seidio said for best results for the first 5 charges let it charge 2-3 hours after it has "fully charged" then let it it fully discharge and repeat) I will report my results. I know Seidio Innocell's always got good reviews for blackberries. I think I will get a pair of those cheap batterires I posted above just to have 2 extra back ups. Battery life and native spell check are the only things I miss about my blackberry

Ordered a G2 Seidio 1700 today with the 10% coupon......will update thread with my findings.

Just a warning for anybody who is thinking of buying the CHICHI batteries. If you bought them and like them great, but if you buy anything from them and want to return it forget about it. I bought the red chichi's before I found out about the Mugen, and when I tried to return the chichi's the company ignored my emails until I placed a dispute with Paypal. ChiChi then finally sent me an email telling me to return them for a refund.....that was over 2 weeks ago. I haven't heard from them since and haven't gotten a refund, so I am trying to get the refund through PayPal now. ChiChi is a very deceptive business, you've been warned.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] dorezen:
the good thing about paypal is they're on the customer's side for the most part so you will get your money back. it's just a matter of time.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] adrienspawn:
Still happy with my Chichi's for a month and a half now. Keeps high capacity and after sanding down fits comfortably.

Worse comes to worse you can get the Otterbox case (have had compliments on it already) and run without the battery door. Might run cooler anyways.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] turbobee:
Just wanted to give my input on this extended battery. I ended up buying the battery recommended in this thread for 99 cents + 2.99 shipping total of 3.98 from this seller http://goo.gl/116GZ

I found that using a razor blade to cut off the plastic tab was the best option for making the battery fit properly. I initially tried it without cutting the plastic tab but the battery didn't sit as flush using that method. I then removed the wrapper as per the recommendations in the thread to get it to fit even better. I also added some scotch tape to the back of the battery so it wouldn't make contact with the metal from the sdcard slot. Using all of the mentioned methods the stock case is almost flush. There is a very tiny bulge but it isn't noticeable unless you are looking for it and it definitely won't damage the battery door.

So far this battery is amazing, 18 hours after removing the phone from the charger and I'm still only at 72%. Prior to this my phone would have been dead at 10 hours. I was tempted to order this battery off of amazon to ensure that I got a quality product but I cheaped out and went with ebay only to find that I saved my self a ton of money and still got an excellent quality product. Anywho, I hope this information helps anyone else still looking to get this battery. I've already ordered two more and a trickle charger since they are so cheap :)

Battery mod warning

Do not squeeze this battery in your G2

It might destroy your phone! :mad:

I bought one off eBay, removed the red sticker and cut down the plastic (which for mine went all the way around, leaving serious doubts about the 1800mAh) until it nearly fit. The metal battery cell is untouched.

I could get the back cover closed but it slightly pressed against the battery.

No biggie? Wrong!

Now it took me a few days to figure this out but this actually bends or short circuits whatever is required for GPS reception.

If I pop it open the lid rests at about a 15 degree angle and requires very little force to close. Yet the prying effect is enough for the devastating effect.

As soon as I close it, GPS is gone. If I open it up to take the pressure off the battery, all is fine again.

As always, results may vary and if you're lucky it could just work for you.

But be advised that this might actually damage your phone in ways you didn't think of.

The Chichi one might be flatter than what I got but if the lid doesn't pretty much fall shut I wouldn't risk it.

Good luck!
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] adrienspawn:
Try sanding it down to make it thinner. I also removed the gooey junk from after the sticker. I don't have GPS service so can't say about that.

batteries

Actually i have personally purchased a set of 3x1800 mAH from ebay inteded for the Htc evo shift. These batteries fit on our g2 perfectly with NO MODIFICATION WHATSOEVER, red outer lining and all. Ive been using them for a while now and in my experience they definately increase juice; and if a battery decides to die out on me guess what, i still got two more biatch! (three with the stock battery). Oh the price was about $15 total and includes a pretty slick wall charger, no more having to tie my phone down next to a wall outlet! Anyways hope this helps.

ps. I wanted to post the link but it would seem im still novice and cannot. But just go to ebay and type : 3 X 1800MAH Battery + Charger for HTC EVO Shift 4G NEW

the seller i purchased from was : inwill2010

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] eunkipark92:
For chichi n mugen people are getting 15-30% more. For eBay knock off battery not so much
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] eunkipark92:
Got my replacement g2 today popped in the 12hours charged chichi

3hours non stop and 54%remainning.

Webbrowsing,xda app, youtube videos, about 30% brightness

And I'm on my first cycle, definately better than stock oem battery.

I just took out the battery covery and using the 3dollar case from amazon. Working very nicely :)

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] iTravis:
So I'm looking for a battery to replace my crappy stock one. Is the Mugen 1800mAh the best battery I can find that fits nicely in the G2 without modding? And I don't like the bulkiness so the 3500mAh is out of the picture.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Smartenup:
I use the Seidio model at 1700mAhs works great once it's charged about 5 times.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] iTravis:
Do you know how is it compare to the Mugen?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] eunkipark92:
Both mugen and seidio capacity are inconsistent its either hit or miss.

So go with the ones that comes with good customer service.or go with chichi like me:)
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] iTravis:
The chichi is $30 on Amazon but went through a couple of pages here I found out some people have bad experience with customer service and it seems the battery has inconsistent/mix performance as well.

Does it fit nicely without modding in your G2?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] eunkipark92:
When I bought it, it was 39 inclduing shippin:P

I don't know about other people but my battery life have improved significantly.

And mine doesn't fit but I don't really care as I don't use the metal back cover.

I just put the batttery in and using the 3dollar amazon rubberized hard case.

I have thought about getting mugen but ithey are way over priced and their capacity is inconsistent.

And I heard bad things about seidio.someone took the cover off and googled the codes that was written on the battery and google search came up with 1200mah batteries.

I heard that seidio battery have somekind of thin chips under the cover but I'm not sure if its truth or not. Beside...seidio batteries are 50bucks..not worth it
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] iTravis:
Really appreciate for the input, I just pulled the trigger on the Mugen, $45 free shipping so will see how it work out for me. :D
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Gertdus:
Been using a Mugen 1800 for about 6 cycles now. It consistently gives me about 20-30 % more battery time. I will also be posting some stats on the CyanogenMod forum for this battery.

(like I did with the different Radios on the cyanogenmod forum (not allowed to link) but have the same user name there. )

basically it just lasts longer imho.. (best day was from 06.00 to 03.00 (21 hrs ) and still > 25 % remaining. Have actually never gotten under 45 % with normal daily use (06.00 - 23.00) where the stock would be on the charger by 21.00....)

edit: unfortunately I can also not show you the plots and screenshot as I am not allowed to link, again, please see the CyanogenMod forum.. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ericc191:
This is what you get when you order the 1800mAh-Replacement-BATTERY-HTC-Droid-Incredible-Evo-4G and take off the red cover. No MAH rating at all and the black plastic surrounding it keeps falling off. Now I'm not surprised at all, but it will take some work to get it to fit. It sits in properly after clipping off that piece of plastic next to the connectors, but the battery door wont close. You'll need to sand it down and sand the plastic casing down as well. How-to is around here somewhere..

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ddgarcia05:
I just popped mine in right away and started to use my phone to drain it completely. Then with the phone off I charged it up to about 60% (had to turn it on to make a call) and left it charging. After that I noticed awesome battery life.

Edit: In reference to my other two previous post. I stopped using it after posting about using Phone2PC (5:30ish AM). I started playing music again from the phone for the past hour or so and it's at 41%.

Remove the red label off the battery. It's a aluminum looking case underneath. And when placing the battery in just first place the bottom in then push the upper part in. You kinda have to work it in, but it does fit. Let me know if you need anymore help I'll make a quick video if you need it.

I'm doing a full charge tonight and gonna try to use it heavily tomorrow to see where it stands.

I got two of the red label batteries marked for Evo/Touch Pro 2 delivered today. Cut the tabs and removed the labels. The batteries do fit... But I still have a bit of a bulge on my battery door. It's closed all the way, but I can feel the difference in my hand when holding the phone.

Don't know if I'll continue using them. Can't return them now that's for sure.

It bugs me a bit and I fear the door is under stress. Maybe that it could snap the tab if I were to drop the phone. *shrug*
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] QwertyAccess:
I'm under same situation, though personally i don't think the battery door is under that much stress. To begin with, with the stock battery installed the battery door was always very slightly loose, like you could wiggle it around with your finger while it was locked in. So i feel that the battery is only pushing the door a little bit but not too much.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] potentdro:
So since making my last post, my battery is now at 13%. Its been around 35 hours. Stock battery too.

I had about moderate usage.

Made a few calls. None no more than 2 minutes. made around 10-15 texts. Surfed the net a lot. Played Alchemy for about 2 hours. Took some pictures. Recorded a short video. Facebook.

I wonder how an 1800 maH battery will do with the way I use my phone.
