Damn HTC , may wanna check the form factor of the battery it self.

I have a mytouch slide which has the same battery as the g2, 3.7v dc 1300mah

Thing is, not only would you have to flip it face side down to align with the pins, but the nub is backwards making the ass end of the battery stick out a bit too much, dunno what snappin that lil peace off would so as Im not a battery geek, and Im not sure how far the cells inside and its caseing are etc :\
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] vikramdhani:
I want a 1800 battery for this phone ASAP :)
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mcp2009:
+1 man the battery life for my G2 is better then my N1 but I think my N1 had a bad battery because mine was so horrible compared to what people had. Then again how would that work with this battery door
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Orite:
Definitely, the battery life gets me through the morning and afternoon but need a little more juice to get me through the night. I'm one heavy user :p
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] vikramdhani:
Really if i last till 4pm that is like heaven for me. I have charger in my car and work but still i hate that i have to keep my phone on the charge all the time :( I will be looking for a 1800 battery to replace the OEM battery
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] linkage2424:
Here's to that.

Haven't had my G2 long, but the few days I have I've been around 20-25% at 5pm. I take it off the charger at 6am when I head to work.

Used a 2300mAh in my G1 - it spoiled me!
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] T-MobileOne:
So I'm guessing no one has any information regarding if there is any extended batteries for the G2 yet? I just got my G2 yesterday and I pulled it off the charger this morning at 6:30 a.m for it to be dead by 4:30 p.m. I definitely want something to last a little longer than that.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] linkage2424:
As far as I've seen, there aren't any extended batteries yet. But the phone did just come out. It's going to take the case/accessories/battery companies a few weeks to get stuff shipping, I would assume.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] GermanGuy:
If the battery in the G2 is the same as the one in the Droid Incredible (I am just speculating, they both seem to have the same specs), there is a slim extended 1750 mAH from Innocell on the seidio website.

http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/basi17hhrv.htm
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] johnnybags:
Don't waste your time with the Seidio extended battery. It is nowhere near the 1750 that it is rated at.

Take a look at this thread: http://androidforums.com/incredible-accessories/98877-seidio-liar-liar-your-pants-fire.html
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] weber09:
I can confirm that the Dinc battery does not fit into the G2, due to the tabs built into the corners.

Edit: you would also have to put the Dinc battery in upside down to align the contacts.

Sent from my T-Mobile G2
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ryaninc:
I remember reading somewhere that the G2 battery is the same model as the HTC Wildfire battery. Of course I can't find where I read that now. Does anyone know if that's true? I hope so, since G2 batteries on eBay are $30, whereas Wildfire batteries are only 5 bucks. :cool:
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] starfcker69:
If it was true we would have heard about it by now and Ebay would be flooded with them.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Iceucold:
I'm your Huckleberry

Actually, upon searching ebay for "HTC vision" batteries Wildfire batteries kept popping up in the titles. Given that there's already extended batteries for the Wildfire that don't seem to be out of proportion, I'm thinking I'll be the guinea pig on this one. :D
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Diablo2424:
Let us know if it fits! If so, what the difference in MaH is as well as real-life percentages please! I'd love to have a slightly bigger battery, just so I can make it through the day with WiFi on all day...
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ihateusernames:
Superfly has reported in the battery thread in General that he is using a Seido from the Incredible. He is reporting nothing but goodness about it. He did have to slighty trim a corner to get it to fit though.

I found this. But, its kinda expensive.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Orite:
I'm about to place an order for this one but can I get a last conformation that these charge using the microUSB? Or do I need to use their wall charger?

Thank you!

Issues

I am not too impressed with the ChiChitech batteries. They came yesterday. I removed the red tape right away. Problem is that when you close the battery door all the way or if you just push hard on the back of the phone, the battery loses contact and the phone shuts down. The contacts seem too line up just fine though.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Akulamenuri:
Thats strange, I haven't read where that has happened to anyone else. Hasn't happened to me either. Did you put the battery in like the video said (Putting in the contract corner first)
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] smirkis:
u must have put them in wrong. i think cutting anything on the batteries is a bad idea as it loses its "snugness" and could cause the issues your explaining. my batteries fit PERFECTLY, battery trey closed fine as if it were stock. battery life IS better. i only had about 50% at 1pm when i put them in yesterday and i tried to kill it as i usually would and it lasted til almost 1am before i hit 18% and tossed it on the charger before i passed out.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] riochile:
I have not run into this either, one thing to look for when installing this battery is making sure it sits in the battery compartment flush, completely flush, you don't have to force it. If the corner with the contacts is raised slightly it's not in properly. It is just as easy to install it either way so double check make sure the battery is totally flat in there. Also the battery door is going to be much more difficult to close if that battery is not completely flush.

I've been removing and reinstalling that battery over the last couple of weeks and those are the only ways it will fit, completely flat or with the contact corner slightly raised.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] GermanGuy:
Yes, I did slightly trim the tab on the batteries to make it fit well without having to wedge it in. Guess, I should not have done that.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mikeatron:
just got my Galilio batteries from china. 2x 2000mah (not the 1800mah as advertised on the ebay ad) + charger for 18 bucks shipped.... had to cut off the tabs on both sides and trim the bottom black part with my nailclipper.... but now it fits perfect.

right now im putting it through its first cycle, started out at 45% and draining it out today.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] EfemaN:
Nice! Keep us up to date. They cost half as much as the reds, might opt for those if the duration is good.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] riochile:
That's great an extra 200 mAh, looking forward to getting mine!

How long did the shipping take?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mikeatron:
one week. pretty quick, considering it's from china and im in the US
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mikeatron:
also want to say that these Galilio batteries are running a lot cooler than the stock ones. the stock ones, i was getting 98F, these are 77F. I'm not sure if the reading is wrong but i thought id mention it.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] xzxxzx:
I was all sad because my phone wouldn't last 8 hours and now I found this thread. I am now happier, if thirty-six dollars poorer... Hopefully it was the battery that was the problem and nothing something I'm doing.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] xxgppxx:
All joking aside, and this makes little sense, but my battery life has gotten infinitely better after overclocking to 1.267 ghz

I ordered the red batteries. Wonder how long it will last with those
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mcp2009:
damn you lol I want mines to be here soooo bad
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] dorezen:
cheaper battery

hi all - i found my way to this thread from the t-mobile g2 forum in search of extended batteries for this phone. it looks like the red 1800mah battery is the one everyone's picking up. despite being USA seller, the price posted by chichitech seems sky high vs something like this - check ebay listing for item 150514469139 for $7.99 battery-only.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ultma75:
*update*

So after killing the battery 100% and recharging through the phone. My battery does not randomly turn off
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] killswitch:
When you receive yours tell us how it works out please.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] potentdro:
32 hours with the red batteries with 44% left.

One of the batteries was already dead when I first got it, so it went straight to the charger. Only charged it for about 2hr 30m. It was full by then.

Made around 5-6 phone calls, no more than 3 minutes. Texted a bunch of messages. Played a little bit of alchemy. Ran Pandora for around 30m-1hr. Surfed the web a little bit. Facebooked a little bit. Checked emails. Recorded a 35s clip. Took around 4-5 pictures.

Most of this was done throughout the day on Tuesday. Its 2am right now.

I definitely notice an improvement, compared to the first 2-3 cycles of the stock battery. Somewhere around the 4th or 5th cycle of the stock battery, I had amazing results. Much better than when I first got the battery. Cant remember what I did right now, but I think I posted it in this thread.

The red batteries are on par or even better than the 4-5 cycle that I mentioned above.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] dorezen:
sure thing though it will take awhile coming from hong kong.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] govtcheez:
For all of you guys that ordered the two battery pack...ever think of selling one to your fellow G2 owners? :D

just a thought. I'd be interested in taking one off someone's hands if the price is right.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Unoid:
I feel i wasted 30$ on the red batteries.

Even with the red sticker peeled off it bulges the alum cover ever slightly by the microusb port. This is not something I want my phone to have to deal with, by bending the aluminum...

I'm disappointed and wasted 30$.

I can't be the only one with some bulging issues, and I'm mad People said it would fit fine! bulging cover does not fit fine!

I'll leave this spare battery in my car as emergency. but I'll have to buy a proper battery in the future..
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] rjbaran17:
I just got my "red" batteries in today. I peeled the sticker off and it does fit, its a snug fit, but fit none the less. The back cover bulges differently for each person i guess. Mines fine by the micro usb slot, but bulges ever so slightly where it snaps to close, by the latch to release. ALSO, these batteries are a bit heaver than the stock battery. I do notice a difference in weight to the already heavy G2. My intentions were not to use this battery as an everyday battery anyway, just incase of power loss while im out.

QUESTION: if the battery is fully charged and out of the phone, how long will it hold its charge for? does it start draining day by day when out of the phone?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Bishybob:
I agree. One of my batteries bulges less than the other and I've been using it the last few days. But I'm still disappointed. Really don't like the idea of my battery door being under stress. Should have just put the $30 towards an OEM battery.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] tony597fitter:
Found this listing.

Just ordered.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380280189386&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] dorezen:
seeing how these cheaply made batteries most likely weren't under the strickest manufacturing standard, there's a chance the shape/size/performance will vary with each one. i ordered a $7.99 red battery-only and will see how that goes. the link for the galilio 2000mah w/charger has me interested though. at least the packaging for the battery appears to be from an established company.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] potentdro:
I have no bulging at all (with the red sticker off, of course).

Just put in and adjust it if it;s still off. If you still have bulging, then I dont know what else you can do. May have to resort to cutting.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] dorezen:
someone also mentioned earlier that if you have one of those inexpensive rubber covers that you could use that as the back cover and leave the original battery cover off.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] demallic:
not sure if you know or not but the battery won't fit into the G2 perfectly since it doesn't fit the evo 4g with its original cover.

Q: Does this battery fit under my original cover?

A: sorry,we are regret to inform you that it could not.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] dorezen:
good catch i almost ordered 1 :)
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ThaGeNeCySt:
fit like a glove. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] riochile:
Same here, cover is perfectly flat, no bulge ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] EfemaN:
I wonder how long it'll take for G2-specific batteries to come out.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] tony597fitter:
I guess Ill find out.

Same part# as the ones everyone is ordering. Only thing different was the voltage output. The 1800mah were 3.7v and the 2000mah were 4.2v.

Ive ordered other stuff from china and hong kong off of ebay. The conversation barrier isnt the greatest.

Ill let you guys know.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] blackchad:
Not only does my cover bulge with both the batteries, with one of them the phone just shuts off if any pressure is put on the back cover at all. If I put it in my pocket and sit down when I grab my phone out its off. I really am not sure if I'm going to use them. Beware this is not a 100 percent perfect solution for everyone. The batteries themselves perform great otherwise but god this is a big problem
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] potentdro:
Up to 46 hours now, with 36% left. I had light usage today. Wifi was off nearly all day. Made a few texts.

Also, forgot to mention that I dont have a data plan... yet. So, Id imagine my battery usage would be a little different
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Becksman:
Same here. I really wonder that there aren't any good offers on the net except for the original HTC battery. Please let us know, if you find some battery specificly made for the G2 / Desire Z / HTC Mozart (should be the same battery).
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] kgold708:
My G1 ran for about a week with no sim card in it. I'd pulled it when G2 arrived, stock 2yr old 700+ cycle batt. And I'm sure it wasn't at 100% when I left it alone.

My point is your info is kind of useless, no offense. I can kill my chichi red in 8-10hr of constant use, on EDGE.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Pandabanana:
I'm in for one even I haven't bought my g2 yet lol
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Efroh:
Just got mine. I don't have a bulge at any of the cover corners, but the cover doesn't sit flush with the case, as it does with the stock battery. If they come out with G2-specific 1800mah batteries I'll be picking one up, but for now this will do.

If anyone is interesting in buying my other unused 1800mah battery, shoot me a pm via the forum. I don't see myself using both.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ZombieUsr:
So which is it...do these batteries fit flush or not? Some say yes, some say no
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mikeatron:
sorry my Galilio brothers but i have this same problem... it worked great and then all of a sudden.... it wasnt powered on. i now notice i have to have the right side of the battery slightly elevated up to get the power to turn on... but if i do that, the battery cover buldges out a lot. sadness, i might try with the other battery that came with the package but my hopes are not high.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] rakjer:
Got mine (reds with wall charger from htc express) last night and drained it from 65% to dead. It has been on the wall charger for 5 hours now with a "pink" light. Anyone else know how long these charge for and what the wall charger led colors mean?

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] govtcheez:
I see that the Evo and Touch Pro 2 batteries are the same. My wife has a TP2, so I'm going to test out tonight if the TP2 battery will fit inside my G2 well (without bulging cover) and will report back if it does. There are LOTS of 1500mah OEM TP2 batteries on ebay for cheap, so this may be an option for us that want an OEM/Factory look/feel/peace of mind.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] rjbaran17:
Sweet, let us know about those batteries. I hate peeling the sticker off the reds, and they're a bit heavier. Plus I don't mind having other batteries lying around.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mikeatron:
i used my other battery... works great... guess it was just a fluke? other Galilio users please chime in
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] riochile:
You may know by now, "pink" led means the battery is charging, "blue" led, the battery is fully charged.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mikeatron:
be jealous friends

:cool::p
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] potentdro:
Running 3 days with red battery. first day was moderate use. second day was light-moderate use. today was pretty light usage.

29% left.

I think Im gonna run it 0% again and charge the phone while its off. This would be the second time doing this. What do you guys think? Should I do this method back-to-back or charge it right now to 100% and then drain it completely?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ThaGeNeCySt:
I got the red chichi batteries... (well i ordered the white ones just to be different ;):p)

they were at around 60% when I put it in my phone... so it took about 2 hours to run it to zilch with trillian and ustream running.. i charged it to 100

I've done web browsing, texting, gtalking, spent 1 hour and 35 minutes in total in phone calls.. screen brightness close to 50 with the screen being on for 2 hours and 40 minutes.. i have twidroyd updating every 30 minutes, facebook with existing contacts sync updating every hour.. beautiful widget weather updating every 3 hours, news widget updating every 3 hours, nexuskang live wallpaper, launcher pro plus, all the google syncs on, overclocked to 1GHz with SetCPU service running

Normally with these settings and under those circumstances, my phone would shut down and need to be charged after about 9 and a half hours.. it's been 11 hours and 31 minutes and my battery is at 24% left

I'm totally impressed right now.. as I needed just a little bit more juice after a normal work day to last me a little bit while home before needing to be charged before I go to bed.

It may begin to last longer with a few more 0-full charge cycles but right now color me IMPRESSED. :eek:
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] joemm:
Going on the 6th cycle of charge and fully drain with the red 1800 mah chichitech batteries and must say they are a hell of a lot better than stock, i can go all day starting around 5am till around 9pm and still have about 10% juice left. Around 9pm i try to drain as much of the charge as possible before recharging over night. And my cover fits, snuggly, but it closes plus i have the body glove case for the phone, closing the cover is not an issue. :D
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] kgold708:
For all you folks that are having problems with the chichi reds......CUT THE DAMN TAB!!

I took mine out of the label, watched the video of the guy wedging them in all funny, tried it, took them out, grabbed my paring knife and cut the tab off both in about 5min.

So....put on your big girl pants and find a thin sharp blade. Place the batt on a flat surface, position batt on its edge with the terminals(shiny gold parts) in the upper right corner facing to the right. Put the blade at the base of the tab and rock slightly while pressing straight down until you reach the thicker part of the batt endcap. Rotate the batt 90deg to the left and cut down until the tab pops off.

BTW the actual battery cell is completely encased in aluminium(shiny metal), the plastic pieces on the end are there to provide form factor and position the terminals. Cutting them(the plastic) is OK and there would be a large increase in effort needed to cut through the AL.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mikeatron:
i used a nail clipper and just clipped off the tab... nice and easy, takes a sec
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] govtcheez:
It doesn't fit because of the tab in the corner, but put it in and powered it on anyways and it worked so I'm positive that it will fit with a little modification with a dremel or nail clippers. It's also just slightly thicker than the G2 battery, so I think it may be a better fit than the red ones.

I'm going to go for it and order one off ebay.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] swhtownboy:
Lmao nice
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] victoria_tsao:
hmm... I was stupid as hell, I use too much pressure while I'm put on my battery (it's not the red battery, but is also the EVO battery with 1500mah)

so it turn like this (see the attachments)

my G2 still working though, but it feels bad everytime I look at the photo:(, will find someone to fix this tomorrow.

so I cut the tab at the battery...it's more easier to put I think....
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] riochile:
Ouch! :eek: Hope that works out for you!
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] smirkis:
heres my update, i've been using the batteries all week since i got them on monday... here's my experience.

with my old battery, i would yank it off the charger at 730am EVERY morning, medium to heavy use daily since it was my first android phone. my battery would always need to be on the charger no later then 3pm. NO LATER. every, single, day, i had to charge it mid day. it became very annoying and then i found this thread!

with my new batteries, i yank em off at 730am still every day. i feel like i use my phone even more on purpose to test out the batteries and cycle them thru, now friday i realize i can get 18+ hours of medium to heavy usage. i feel like as soon as it gets t 20% it starts draining REALLY SLOW, which is awesome. i can pound it out til like 15% and still have hours of standby til i toss it on the charger.

my longest of heavy usage so far, 730am off the charger, 4am the next day and still had 8% after pretty heavy use.

im lovin it
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] joemm:
Same thing happened to me, just took a butter knife and bent it back, works and looks fine.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] lowpeezy:
Yeah man...I'm lovin it too!

I unplugged mine at 6am and even with moderate use (games, a lil youtube, texting, web browsing) I still have 70% and its now 3pm.

By far the best and first thing you should do is buy this battery.

I actuually cut the tabs on both sides of the battery and now my cover sits pretty flush with the phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Ready2Mosh:
off10 coupon code works at htcexpress website, so the total comes to $31 plus change shipped.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ddgarcia05:
Damn, that sucks. As long at they still make contact you should be fine. You can try bending them back but why mess with something that works still works fine.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] thugjedi:
Which battery did you get because that's the one I'm going to buy
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ddgarcia05:
Just look back at the poster older post in his profile or just look at the last few pages.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] dschach:
Does the cover fit flush with the g2 body with the EVO 1500mah battery? Is the 1500 mah battery any thinner than the 1800mah one?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] rakjer:
Can someone post a pic or video of a "cut" battery. I just want to visually see what you all are doing. I have a great imagination, however, I am a visual person. My battery fits great uncut.

Thanks to whoever can do this.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] victoria_tsao:
Thanks for the suggestion! I bent it back and seems perfect right now :)

I use this to "cut" my battery, not sure how to call this in English, "nail file"?

hope the picture below the attachments can help you, don't know how to explain in English :S
