I think all galilios say 1800 but come as 2000 because I ordered mine from a different seller and it was 2000 but was supposed to be 1800. I gave one to a friend to use on his evo because he said stock sucked and he said it was slightly better. The one I used in my G2 sucks. It dies faster then stock and is sometimes either identical to stock or worse. I'm thinking the one I gave him is good so he said he'll give it back because its not to big of a difference then stock. Ill report back when I get the other one back.

You can order the red Chichitec batteries from ebay as well
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] jaZzyjeff818:
I noticed those differences too and just went ahead and ordered the ones from Chichitec since everyone that has them has said nothing but good things. Plus there isn't much difference in price. You can order directly from htcexpress.com and apply voucher code "OFF10" twice on a single battery and get it for $11.99, taxes included, free shipping in the US.

Got my reds!!!! Woohoooo!!!

Ok, so I got my reds yesterday.....I clipped the tips of the batt, pealed off the red tape (but cut a piece and used it to protect the sd card housing) and popped it in....

So far it has been in my phone since last night (midnight to be exact), and has been running since (8:45 Hrs). I started at 60% and right now I am at 22%. I did use it a lot last night...a solid hour of use....15 min you tube, some light surfing, and about 40 min of angry birds (I have completed all levels and still addicted). So, so far so good! I am trying to drain completely before putting on the charger. I did charge my stock on the provided charger, so I can have backup during the day.

As for the fit....My battery has absolutely no wiggle room whatsoever!!!! I did notice a slight bulging of the battery compartment door, but really noticeable unless you really search for it. Like I mentioned, I used a piece of the red tape to prevent contact with the sd card cover, but was thinking about changing it to regular tape (thinner maybe) to see where the bulging on the back goes...
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ozamora:
Got the Galilios yesterday. Pealed the sticker on one and trimmed the plastic on the bottom towards the contacts. It fits perfectly. I am cycling it now; I have not charged it since yesterday night and I am at 27%. It arrived at 60%.

Once drained, I will recharge and test for performance again.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] dorezen:
thanks for the tip on the single battery offer. i might go with that. i got the $8 ebay red squarish htc evo 1800mah battery. i did not remove the wrapping and clipped the 2 corners with nail clipper - that got it to fit in perfectly.

as for performance, after doing 2 full cycle of drain/charge to 100%, this one feels to me like it performs about same as the stock HTC 1300mah batteries. i will see if i can run a direct comparison test between the 2 but so far i am not impressed.

UPDATE - price must have gone up as the single Red form htcexpress is going for $14.99 and $13.49 with the 10% off code.

Charging time???

Hi all!!!

OK so I have a question...I got my chichi reds last night. It put it on at midnight, and lasted until about 9 AM this morning....I really tried to put it through its paces to drain....I put it to charge at around 10:30 or 11 AM, and it's 3:50, and it's still charging...the light is still pink!!!!

Last night I charged the stock battery on the chichi charger, and got it to blue in a by the time I woke at 6 AM, so it was blue within 6 hrs, but when I charged it on the phone it would be 100% in about 2 hrs or less.

So here are the questions:

* Should I charge the chichi's on the phone instead of the charger?

* How long did it took to charge your chichi's?

Another thing is that my chargers sounds like it has something loose inside...anyone else experience this?

PD~I'm charging it on an APC power surge protector ... could that have anything to do with it (i really don't think so, but just checking)
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] smirkis:
charge the one in ur phone, in ur phone. put ur spare on the block charger if u so choose to use it. its not really necessary to carry around two batteries when u have the reds. they just last that long! i have my spare with charger in my backpack at all times just in case.. keep my oem battery at home.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ddgarcia05:
I've never used the charger that came with the reds.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ozamora:
Seems that the charger is a piece of junk. It takes forever to charge a battery.

Anyone using the chichi reds with CM 6.1 RC and experiencing quicker battery drain?

Sent From My G6
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] jaZzyjeff818:
Oh it seems now you can only apply the code one time. When I ordered I was able to apply it twice, but I got an email saying there was an error with my payment and my ordered was delayed because I used the code twice. Either way I still got it for basically 20% off, but they must have fixed that bug to prevent anyone else from doing that.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] s0epkip:
Please be carefull with charging these LiPo batteries:
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Crey23:
Ok so I took it off the charger, and plugged into the G2..100%...lets hope I didn't over charge!!!!

[EDIT] Little concerned with my chichi's here.....been running for one hour and already down to 76%!!!!!!!! with some moderate use! I think is lost some green here....on my first cycle though...i hope it improves!
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] sinistersai4d4d:
All this time and we still don't have a legit high capacity same size battery? I don't care about the price, I just want one that wont explode. WHy doesn't hTC make them?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] dorezen:
as far as i know, mugen's the only one so far that has specifically made a higher capacity battery for the G2 though that's also not in stock. it looks like they're trying to collect preorders while the factory in china churn them out.

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] smirkis:
I'm lovin it. first few cycles might suck, you'll notice the greatness!
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ratchetrizzo:
I ordered my reds last night and they shipped already.

With any luck they will work and they wont blow up since I charge my g2 overnight.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] juanshop:
The battery after cyanogen mod runs out pretty bad even when I go back to the stock rom
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] dorezen:
did you get this with heavy usage?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] juanshop:
Nope today for example I unplugged the phone at around 7 and I just been doing light texting and been checking xda for a little bit and the phone as right now is about 82% as before now it would have been around 90 with even a lil more heavy usage.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] smirkis:
the percentages have different meaning with the reds. 90% on a 1300mah battery is not the same as 90% on a 1800mah battery. don't always look at numbers, use it and feel the difference thruout the day. trust me lol
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] juanshop:
the %'s are comparing chichitec, not the stock one :)

and idk why but both of them are draining FAST, today i took a nap so the phone is been off, but yesterday around 7, the battery was barely at 15 percent, and took me.... i wanna say 30 minutes to kill it...

and look let me compare to this guy

:

my values are:

standby:37%

phone idle: 33%

android system 22%

display 6%

voice calls: 2%

they are considerably higher....
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] happyG2er:
well it looks like htcexpress went up 19.99 for one battery
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] smirkis:
I looked at my phone before I fell asleep at 11pm. I saw 22 percent and asked myself if I should throw it on the charger, I have an alarm set for 830am that I couldn't miss. I said eff it and passed out, woke up at 830am and still had 16 percent. tossed it on the charger at work at 1100, still had 13. if yours are sucking, consider them defective units or, you sit on ur phone, all day long? lol I do and it still lasts til midnight daily
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] juanshop:
i would like to point that im running cyanogen's mod and is since that i install it that is been sucking.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] dorezen:
damn, talk about price gouging. i bet the seller even monitors this site. might as well make as much $ while the market isn't flooded with actual extended batteries made for the G2.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mauaus:
What are you guys doing to avoid shortages with the red wrapperless chichi batteries?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] smirkis:
juanshop, cyano is the sole purpose of the battery sucking. specifically worse on that rom
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] juanshop:
Is it maybe because is a RC? Or all cyanogen mods have bad baterry efficiency?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mauaus:
im running stock and i gave my chichis a full charge played aroud with it a bit and then went to sleep left it unplugged overnight and it was at 97%. woke up 6 hours and 27 mins later and its at 74%

How can i check whats sucking up my battery?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] xzxxzx:
Mine has the system running at 44%... Now I'm wondering if that's normal or if there is something wrong
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Ready2Mosh:
Mine is just bare with no tape or anything and I haven't shorted my battery.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mauaus:
I just cut out a piece of the red sticker and placed it on the sdcard metal cover :p
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] shady503403:
idk if im the only one.. but ive searched and seems like it.. i put the new battery in.. the red chichi from amazon.. and my phone accepted it fine and dandy.. but now my phones in a constant bootloot with the rom..? i reflashed and didn't fix issue.

any suggestions?? gonna try wipeing and reflashing..

had a backup from before a customer rom.. fixed it.. wierd how the battery caused a bootloot.. meh. oh well..

sooo.... on there red chichi batteries it makes the battery cover bend a little.. yet to remove the red sticker.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] indelible:
got the red batt a couple days ago, a lot better than the oem battery but i wish it would still last longer.

1d 4h 39m since unplugged, 27% left

Cell standby 53%

phone idle 31%

android system 7%

voice calls 5%

display 3%

google sky map 2%
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Gravityrat:
Just for you guys information. Received my Galileo batteries 2 days ago. Fully charged one, put it in my G2 this morning at 7am, used it all day, calling, texting and internet. Its 10pm now and I am at 53%. My stock battery never made it thru a day at work, usually dying before I got home.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] KeithAdv:
Ditto. Technically, I put the piece in the appropriate location on the battery so it wouldn't get sticky stuff on the sdcard cover, but same result. No probs.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Keirnoth:
I just cut out a piece of paper that was the size of the battery compartment area and placed it underneath the battery.

And yeah, I got the Chichitech batteries too. Worked like a charm. Had to remove the red cover but that's ok. I haven't had a chance to fully charge them yet and put them through rigorous use. I leave the wi-fi on my phone on all day if I'm at home, so I'd imagine that would put a huge strain on the battery.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] dorezen:
just received my chichitech red battery today and popped them in. the battery is thicker and denser than the stock and even after removing the red sticker (which i now put back) it's still quite obvious the back cover does not close smoothly and bulges out. i've tried following the youtube video posted here earlier on in the thread but still no go. the backplate will shut but i can see the slider mechanism on the side not fully closing. im assuming not all batteries are created equal since some of you reported no problems with installation. at the same time i can't complain since these are made for another htc model.

what i did is leave the back cover off for now and just the cheap $5 rubber case as the actual protector. will test the unit out a bit like this for now.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] dorezen:
is the fit perfect on the galilio without mods and can you post a buy link?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] juanshop:
u have the ebay link? are those 2000? how much?

can u pm the link please :D
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] scrizz:
anyone have a link to some batteries?

:(
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] riochile:
I can confirm dinc 1800 ma batteries on ebay work in the G2 no trimming required. I pulled the red sticker off the battery to make it easier to fit with the cover.

Picked up 2 batteries and charger for 26 bucks, great deal and they work!

Noticed big improvement over stock battery.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] rkmiller:
.

Have a link or anything for those? Nothing came up when I searched for dinc 1800 ma.

*edit

I'm slightly handicapped I guess. I realize now that it most likely means droid incredible. Maybe?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] riochile:
Yes, the listing on ebay would be for the Droid Incredible, 1800 MA battery, they are wrapped in a red label and actually when the batteries arrived they were marked HTC EVO 4G so I think they fit both, the only difference from the factory battery is you flip the battery over to fit in the G2. No modification to the battery needed. They fit with the factory cover, it's a tight fit, so I removed the red plastic wrapping and it's fits great! love the extended battery life, great extended battery! These batteries are 500 MA over the factory battery.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ultma75:

As Droid Incredible and EVO 4G are sharing the same battery (and even TP2)... I've bought the two batts+charger pack. But because I live in Italy the shipping will come to me in 15-20 days, so I'll have to wait for a while prior to posting my results.

Anyway, it isn't a so long wait as I'll receive my HTC Vision (D-Z) on 23/11... playing with it will make me to wait without even thinking of the shipping :P

Not to bad for my battery. Was still at 19%. This was from 630am to 9:44pm. Stock OEM battery.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Gravityrat:
The fit was tight, I removed the wrapper but only from one side. I left wrapper on the side that touches against the sdcard. Also had to cut the tabs off from the ends just like everyone else. My battery cover DOES close and it works great.

Cost me 20 bucks for 2 2000mAh batteries and a charger.

is not that bad. i guess i will jump in it and see how good they really are.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ratchetrizzo:
My reds came today.

It's not quite a "perfect" fit wrapper off at the bottom.

The cover goes on but i have to manually close the latch all the way and the bottom of the battery cover is ever so slightly raised by the latch side. The battery has no label and a square piece of the label is over the SD card. This should be good enough until real g2 extended batteries come out with similar marks. The second battery I am giving to a friend with an incredible cause he always complains about how quick his incredible drains.

It came at 60% charged and I'm charging now, it seems to charge pretty quickly.

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] dorezen:
i'm guessing this is possibly a hindsight or lack of resource at htc for their accessories division. they are missing out big time on additional money that could be had from htc 1st party accessories. the $45 price that mugen is asking for in their G2 1800mah battery, i'd only pay that price if the battery was made by the phone manufactures themselves.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] dorezen:
that's exactly the same problem i'm having right now. removing the wrapper didn't seem to make much of a difference as the battery is too thick to begin with. i end up putting the wrapper back on but no installing the metal cover and just use my cheap rubber case as the backing for now. after 1 cycle, the battery definitely appears to last a whole lot longer than stock. if only it fit better then it'd be perfect

It was way faster than I would have thought. Won bid on saturday, shipped on monday and received them 9 days later on tuesday.

Drained The New Battery

I bought the red Evo replacement battery for my G2 and the damn thing won't charge.

I installed it and used it until it completely drained because I want to condition it.

I'm new to HTC phones and Android. The iPhone takes about 20-30 to come on during a charge after the batteries drained.

How long does it take for the G2 to come back on during charge with a drained battery?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ratchetrizzo:
8 Hours off the charger after the first charge and I'm at 90% for normal use (slight web browsing, txting, updating apps, and a couple pictures, no calls though).

I expect the battery to get slightly better after a few cycles.

Overall I am happy so far and can live with the slight battery cover issue until a real g2 battery is out.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Superfrag:
Yup, I have the Chichi's as well, running CM6.1 RC-1 and my battery life has reduced considerably compared to stock ROM. In battery usage it seems that Android System(I specifically think the Radio) is to blame.

let us know how it goes if you go for it. most of us are still using the chichi red and that seem to be ok for now (except for a perfect fit in my case).
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Becksman:
Will do so if I should go for it. My Desire Z should arrive this week and so I might start to get the accessories. Not certain about the quality of these batteries though, as some same looking batteries (for other devices) are sold on amazon regularly and don't get the best reviews. On the other hand 7-8 USD (shipped) isn't really much for a battery. I decided not to order the chichitecs right now as I'm uncertain about the size (you say yourself they don't fit in every case), the unwrapping (risk of shorts) and the voltage.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] johnsonrod27:
The chitech reds have been more then I could ask for.. I used to daily charge my phone half way through each day now I come home to it dying..theres great ..there is no reason not to get the red chitech ones they fit fine with the sticker off..whoever says other wise is wrong
