Even if the Mugen 1800mAh is only 1500mAh, that's still 20% better than the original 1230mAh.

If your original battery is lasting 24 hours, the Mugen will last 5 hours longer.

That's still a nice improvement, considering it's the same size.
[Desire HD Accessories] SupremeBeaver:
agreed. this battery will still be an improvement, so i'll be all over it :p
[Desire HD Accessories] MrGarak:
Will grab one of these babies asap, speedy release!
[Desire HD Accessories] Fishawy:
The only thing that was stopping me from buying this phone is the battery. If this is true, then I'm seriously getting it.

If anybody tried it, please give a feedback.
[Desire HD Accessories] gvoima:
If any of you guys are gettings this battery, please post some results on how it performs compared to the oem.

And it would be good to get the battery through some charge cycles before testing.
[Desire HD Accessories] Dyonas:
I'm curious to see what genuine people get out of this battery but I'm dubious thanks to seeing this on the Mugen site.

"The battery has an extra 570 mAh compared the original and as its the same size as the original Desire HD battery it doesn't add any extra bulk onto the back of your handset so you won't need a replacement back cover."

It'd be hard to replace the back cover when there isn't one you can replace. It's a minor oversight and could be a simple copy / paste mistake but I'm a stickler for details. If they can't get a small description correct am I willing to trust my expensive new phone with a product they make?

I'm also sadened to see anyone questioning authenticity branded negatively. Maybe you disagree with them but they're just as entitled to their opinion as you are and I'd rather have all information than just the good half.
[Desire HD Accessories] neigo:
was it a fake?

this item is deleted
[Desire HD Accessories] llcooljazz:
Hmmmmm - will ring and ask.
[Desire HD Accessories] eozen81:
Wow, missing product now for the above link, for sure it was fake?
[Desire HD Accessories] llcooljazz:
Spoke to my mate at MF, and he says Mugen asked them to remove it.

Very vague on details, but Mugen said whilst they are making the 1800 - as of yesterday it is now not 100% confirmed, as they are still working on some variables.

:mad::confused:
[Desire HD Accessories] wakers:
Depends how you read that ?

I read it as Mugen saying its the same size as original so you can use the cover that came with the phone...

Are the standard batteries mAh verified ?

If not they might not actually be performing as they should so even if the Mugen is not what it claims if the factory one isn't either then the difference could be as much as Mugen claim ?
[Desire HD Accessories] jords12:
I'll believe mugen's claims when an independent capacity test backs them up. Although I am also hoping that they do manage to get a good capacity benefit over the stock battery.
[Desire HD Accessories] indie13:
All, I emailed MobileFun to ask if the battery was real due to the page going down and if my order is still valid or should i expect a refund. They came back with the following......

Dear Indie13,

Thank you for your email.

The item that you are enquiring about is currently a "Coming Soon" item. Unfortunately our supplier cannot provide a date of arrival at present. As soon as this information is available to us, the website will be updated.

We apologise that we are unable to provide a more definite date for this item to be available.

Kind regards

Chris

Not sure if i should be convinced by the reply or not?
[Desire HD Accessories] Fishawy:
Well, it's at least better than "Sorry, it was posted by mistake, and there's no such thing".

Hopefully it comes soon as they promise.
[Desire HD Accessories] Mr.Kakarot:
or if it takes to long, cancel your order?

but if you are the patient type.... it could not hurt...
[Desire HD Accessories] Burning_aces:
awesome, willget one of these when i get the phone!
[Desire HD Accessories] hardbreed:
Not a mugen battery but bigger capacity than stock none the less -

I cant post the link due to being a new user but go to deal extreme. com and the sku is 51191

Who's gonna be first to try it out :)
[Desire HD Accessories] goofy584:
quite shure that this is the same "quality" as the ebay batteries! nice to burn your phone :o but nothing else.
[Desire HD Accessories] jords12:
And I wouldn't be surprised if the capacity is around the 800-900 mark...
[Desire HD Accessories] Burning_aces:
so this is fake?

what should I get as a spare battery then?
[Desire HD Accessories] goofy584:
Wait for mugen or take htc battery

:-)
[Desire HD Accessories] Fishawy:
Yea, waiting .. Ain't gonna buy the DHD until that battery is out.

I hate that "Coming Soon" thing :s
[Desire HD Accessories] Mr.Kakarot:
hmmm, the desktop charger alone makes this worthwhile?! my phone is the uk one, charging it on usb sucks....

hmmm, would this be safe/faster then usb charging?

Hi guys,

What do you think about this one ?

Replacement 3.7V 1550mAh Li-Ion Battery for HTC Desire HD

http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.51202

CaSte23
[Desire HD Accessories] Fishawy:
1550 mAh with only $6.90? Doesn't sound right ..
[Desire HD Accessories] eozen81:
Staw away from those cheap batteries. I believe they are much more harmful for our expensive devices rather than being more productive.
[Desire HD Accessories] Fishawy:
Exactly my thought. I saw some folks around here talking about bad stuff caused by their recently-bought cheap batteries.

Well said.

Sent from my Leo.
[Desire HD Accessories] Caste23:
Thanks for the advise ! :)

[Desire HD Accessories] kermez:
Yep, i have bought battery for psp from ebay when it came out. After few weeks it started restarting with no reason and the screen blinked non stop until i have figured out it is the battery. From that day only expencive and official if it is possible :)
[Desire HD Accessories] raw235:
i've bought a extended battery for my G1 on ebay 2 years ago. was $9 cheap, lastet 3 times longer than the original and is still in my old phone without problems.

my expirience with hongkong battery is: you can be lucky and get a great battery that almost does what it tells you, or a very very cheap battery that is'nt worth the porto.

i've bought 2 dual chargers from 2 drifferent hongkong ebay sellers, both titled with 2800mah, after 30 minutes of play, one was at 0% and the other at 90%.

i've ordered a 1550Mah battery for the DHD, lets see. I'll review it when it arrives (1 or 2 weeks i think)

the standard battery is very small, my phone needs to be charged twice a day! good that i have a charger at my work pc, bed and car. hum, i may need also one for the toilet :)
[Desire HD Accessories] Fishawy:
Thanks for the info. Awaiting that review. :)
[Desire HD Accessories] pwraggcan:
I bought from Hong Kong. Two 1550 batteries and a univeral 3g battery charger for £10. I've been using the batteries and charger for 4 weeks now with no issues. Actually, the replacement batteries are better. So, to anyone who's thinking aboot buying them, go for it.
[Desire HD Accessories] RD1945:
[rant mode=on]Hmm. It's now December 1st and still no Mugen battery. Why am I not surprised.

Yet another company that cannot keep their promise.[rant mode=off]

Not that I need the extra capacity (it's nice to have it though). I disable data traffic when I don't need it (saves a sh*tload of battery). Haven't charged my phone in 1,5 day and it's at 50% :)
[Desire HD Accessories] Anurlaiqar:
Yes, I do the same; I've installed all the HTC control widgets on my home screen to be able to control exactly what the phone is doing. Now my battery is at 70%, and I haven't charged in 16.5 hours. So I don't yet see the need for a larger battery.
[Desire HD Accessories] helpme:
for your information, this is a China company pretending to be a Hong Kong one. They are lying for where they are, can you trust their battery product? I don't think so.
[Desire HD Accessories] funkatiko:

[Desire HD Accessories] Wil-j:

I just got a discontinued and refund email from Mobile Fun for the Mugen battery and was given the following as an alternative:

Mugen Desire HD extended battery

It's only 1300 mah!! I wanted 1800
[Desire HD Accessories] Fishawy:
Not worth it. :mad:
[Desire HD Accessories] Laddiobolocko:
Hi,i ask mugen when the battery will come out,this is the response:

"It will come out on early next year!"

Wooooo,what's the problem with tihs battery???
[Desire HD Accessories] hardtheory:
the mugen will be only 1300 - 1400 mah :

anyone here buy the 1500 mah battery on ebay from super_cheap_city buyer ?

it seems quite well !!
[Desire HD Accessories] A|ex:
Now listed as discontinued, was this a sales item mistake?
[Desire HD Accessories] mwright:
It looks like the 1800maH battery has been withdrawn and replaced by a 1300maH one!

Hardly worth the effort I think?

Regards

Mike
[Desire HD Accessories] fanjal:
Had they released a 1800 mah battery the day after I got my phone, I would have bought it.

Today, after the tweaking and the custom ROM's and kernel's, I don't see the need.

Thank you for being so damn slow and ending up with a 70 mah increase Mugen, you just saved me some cash.
[Desire HD Accessories] helpme:
Customer Rom save battery life? Which Rom u use?
[Desire HD Accessories] Aamir.Badat:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Modern-Tech-Desire-Capacity-Replacement-Battery/dp/B004DNLME8

what do you think about this battery from amazon??
[Desire HD Accessories] goofy584:
I've ordered this one, will give feedback when I got it!

:)
[Desire HD Accessories] altralazer:
You might want to try the 1600mAh one that is shown as alternative when clicking on that link (can't direct link yet but it is amazon.co.uk/GenieWish-1600mAh-Capacity-Extended-Replacement/dp/B004BFY8GM/ref=pd_cp_ce_1

It's 1600mAh instead of 1500...however I haven't done it. Somebody out there who might want to check it out first? ;)
[Desire HD Accessories] Fishawy:
Hah! Even Better! .. Now I can consider upgrading from my HD2, will just wait for a battery feedback.
[Desire HD Accessories] mwright:
Slightly odd that the 1600mAh battery uses exactly the same images as the 1500mAh one. Including the 1500mAh capacity printing on the label!

Hmmm?
[Desire HD Accessories] Aamir.Badat:
thats why i posted the 1500mAH link and not the 1600 < that looks abit fishy
[Desire HD Accessories] Aamir.Badat:
Ok Will wait for your feed back on the battery for now ill just bookmark the page. :)
[Desire HD Accessories] Fishawy:
Please compare the results to the below, and send us your feedback. The picture was taken from here.
[Desire HD Accessories] mwright:
Hmm - I can't see any mention of extended batteries on the link you give.

And the image you have tried to link does not exist?
[Desire HD Accessories] Fishawy:
Sorry, edited.

I meant to ask how much noticeable difference does it give.
[Desire HD Accessories] fanjal:
I am using LeeDroid 1.2 with Buzz Kernel 1.0.6 and JuiceDefender.

Very happy with it so far.
[Desire HD Accessories] helpme:
mind to do a just mp3 playing battery test for us?
[Desire HD Accessories] ialeumas:
i emailed mugen and they said it is impossible for them to have a higher capacity battery than 1300mah. sigh
[Desire HD Accessories] RD1945:
So, a waste of money if you ask me.
[Desire HD Accessories] Aamir.Badat:
Has any one ordered the battery that was on Amazon??
[Desire HD Accessories] Burning_aces:
how much extra battery length would the 1300mah get you over the standard battery?
[Desire HD Accessories] A|ex:
In theory 5% more than whatever you get now (obvioulsy times may vary due to what you are running). In reality mugen battery may not be as good as stock so you may get less or next to no difference at all.

for the extra 70maH its hardly worth it, its also £10 more expensive than a stock htc battery
[Desire HD Accessories] Burning_aces:
so you may be better off with a stock battery..fair enough will wait to hear more
[Desire HD Accessories] hayabbusa:
Just get the oem as a second battery and ull have 2400mh :)
[Desire HD Accessories] idavid_:
i dont believe it because you cant make the battery that has so much more mah that is the same size. but you cant make extended battery because of unibody
[Desire HD Accessories] A|ex:
they basically means you will have a total of around that much not one battery that equals that amount
[Desire HD Accessories] Goodm7sn:
So, anyone yet got to buy or test those 1600 , 1500 ma desire hd batteries on ebay and amazon ? would really love to hear some feedbacks ;)
[Desire HD Accessories] AndyCr15:
Yes, here it is -

http://hemorrdroids.net/cheap-ebay-battery-htc-desire-hd/
[Desire HD Accessories] ZedeN:
Bought a 1550mAh battery from evertop.co.uk for 15.95GBP and i have to say, im well pleased. It definately lasts longer than the official battery (not 20% longer but more like 10%)

With the stock battery my battery would NEVER last a whole day, it would run out at around 7pm (having 100% at 8am) which annoyed me a lot, but the extended one would last me untill 9-10pm with similar usage.

I would definately recommend everyone to get an extended battery for Desire HD, it's also definately reasuring to know that if you run out of juice, you have a backup power source just in case.

Until now didnt have any problems with the battery appart from it being like 0.5mm larger so its slightly harder to close the battery cover, but it still closes without any gaps.

I will post battery tests later if anyone wants.
[Desire HD Accessories] lightningtrip:
I have been an 1800 for almost 2 weeks now, and it is far superior to the stock, I leave wifi and bluetooth on and talk and message moderately and this things lasts for full day with 30-40 left on battery. I can shut down wifi and bluetooth and get almost 2 full days out of it.
[Desire HD Accessories] Fishawy:
Where did you get it from?
[Desire HD Accessories] dorezen:
most likely this one that the other Battery thread has been raving over. the only downside is the fit is not perfect.

http://www.htcexpress.com/batteries...-battery-sprint-verizon-incredible-droid.html
[Desire HD Accessories] AndyCr15:
I'm confused. Wasn't this a Desire HD thread?

How are we now in the G2/Z forum?
[Desire HD Accessories] AndyCr15:
Will this fit into a DHD?
[Desire HD Accessories] ZedeN:
Nope. Not if its for Evo
[Desire HD Accessories] FrenicX:
Mugen now has an 1800ma that uses the original backplate and a 2600 that uses a custom backplate. Search "mugen g2" on YouTube and you'll see both videos.

Btw, welcome to the g2 forums. We've all been merged.
[Desire HD Accessories] Goodm7sn:
wooot :eek: i thought G2 and desire Z got merged , what's the desire HD got to do here then :confused: ?
[Desire HD Accessories] FrenicX:
Well I'll be damned. Ignore my last post then. Dunno bout the DHD batteries. I just assumed this was a DZ thread lol.
[Desire HD Accessories] Aamir.Badat:
So there is no powerful battery for the DHD come on what about the link to the battery on amazon has anyone bought that yet?
[Desire HD Accessories] Floken:
I've just found an andida 1800mah from obostore, sorry i can't post links as I am newbie here.

but I don't know if it's reliable, i want an extended battery that really gives me more time, i was waiting for mugen, but they came up with that ridiculous 1300 mah.

I'm afraid that andida battery might end up beeing an 1200mah one labeled as 1800, is there anyone that can give us advice on andida batteries reliability?
[Desire HD Accessories] Aamir.Badat:
You can just post the link without the http thing
[Desire HD Accessories] Floken:

there it is, you have only to put the dots after www and after obostore
[Desire HD Accessories] Aamir.Badat:
Thanks will check it out when I get home.
[Desire HD Accessories] RD1945:
$10 for a battery? I don't know about this one but something tells me that it's not going to deliver the promised 1800mAh.

Good find though.

http://droidreign.com/2010/12/mugen-power-extended-batteries/

The review doesn't mention the DHD and doesn't say how well the Mugen battery performed compared to the original OEM battery.

So, its a useless review.
[Desire HD Accessories] MrKaon:
I've bought mine two days ago as soon as I get it I will write a review
[Desire HD Accessories] A|ex:
Shouldnt you post about DHD in this thread and not the Desire (non HD) as its confusing if you are reviewing the DHD mugen battery or the desire mugen battery.

Mugen DHD Review?

Anyone with a mugen in their DHD want to post a review?
[Desire HD Accessories] MrKaon:
I am using it since yesterday, but it's too early for judgement, need few more day. :)
[Desire HD Accessories] spadival:
On my 3rd charge today - Seems to give me at least 2-3 hours more compared to the HTC battery. However, this is during the holidays, will have to wait until work week starts to see if it lasts a full working day.
[Desire HD Accessories] rosswaa:
thats it? 2-3 hours extra? lol nuff said
[Desire HD Accessories] AndyCr15:
I'm not sure why you're laughing? What where you expecting? If you thought it would give much more than that then I lol at you.... :-)

If I knew for sure I would get 2-3 more hours I would say it's worth it. Instead of dying at 9pm it makes it to midnight, that's a pretty big difference to me if I've gone the pub after work. :-)
[Desire HD Accessories] lefty83:
yep 2-3hours more with 70maH is not to bad is it? waiting for your further tests @spadival @MrKaon
[Desire HD Accessories] xl VipeR lx:
Hard drives are mainly the same size but range from 4 Gigabyte to 1 Terabyte
[Desire HD Accessories] subtractor:
Thanks for the info Spadival. Anyone else with mugen getting similar 2-3 hr extra?
[Desire HD Accessories] spadival:
TBH, I wasnt expecting anything better. Considering those extra 2-3 hours mean that I can just about get thru the day without a recharge, I am more than happy with the battery performance so far.
[Desire HD Accessories] coolmaxx:
For a given battery chemistry (that's what we are talking about here) the available oompf is almost proportional to volume. You need physical matter (chemicals) to store the energy. This sets somewhat limits.

If miniaturisation in battery development would have just somewhat similar to harddrives then we all would use electrical cars and don't bother about pumping large volumes of liquid fuel around.
[Desire HD Accessories] MrKaon:
yes my friend you will get 2 -3 hr extra
[Desire HD Accessories] Drakknar:
I'm expected to get it tomorrow. Will try it and post my impressions
[Desire HD Accessories] nishanta2006:
A question to all mugen battery users (for DHD)....is your phone recognizing the battery? I ask this because I had a Nokia N900 (which runs on maemo platform) and I used a mugen battery for it. The phone never showed the correct battery percentage for the mugen battery since it did not recognize it. I hope on DHD the issue isnt there.
[Desire HD Accessories] MrKaon:
Where is no such problem with DHD my friend
[Desire HD Accessories] MrGarak:
Anyone else have it that can comment on performance? Doesn't look like anything better is going to come along so thinking about picking one up.

Interested to hear if the extra 2-3 hours increases at all after a few days, seeing as many peoples stock DHD battery's took a few cycles to get going properly.
[Desire HD Accessories] RED_:
Finding the normal battery fine myself, as long as its near fully charged before i leave the house in the morning i don't really find a problem. You do notice the battery dwindle when using the mobile internet but luckily i use it less and less as the day goes on. Very tempted with this though, hopefully there might be something bigger in the future.
[Desire HD Accessories] CitizenLee:
Anyone tried the 1600mAh batteries on eBay?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-HIGH-CAPA...544?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1e60785850

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1600mAh-Stand...ultDomain_3&hash=item3f05ff2118#ht_3598wt_902

I've tried a few batteries from China in iPods and the like and whilst they do seem to offer extended battery life initially, I find after a few months they tend to drain a lot quicker than the original.

I do like the idea of the Mugen, but £25 seems quite steep for 2-3hrs extra.
[Desire HD Accessories] MrGarak:
Yeah same here, the EVO battery offers 1800mAh and is the same price. I know theres other things to take into consideration but it seems some way from a good deal. I see theres an 1800mAh battery for the Desire Z also at the same price.
[Desire HD Accessories] avenge the rage:
Got the 1600mah battery and its not any more life than a normal one, although I've had it for only 3 days, but so far I would say good for a 2nd battery
[Desire HD Accessories] Pruikki:
So is there comeing a battery for DESIRE HD that is BIGGER than 1300 mAh.

can some one write to mugen or something.
[Desire HD Accessories] medicine:
i wrote to mugen.

they said that 1300mah better battery power is IMPOSSIBLE to do!

so...why is this possible for desire z or htc hd7,with original size,and not for our device??i have find page where there is mugen 1800mah battery(i can't post,i'm new user,but just write on google 'mugen battery 1800mah htc desire hd')

in my opinion,they make avaible batteries for devices that doesn' t sell too much...like windows phone 7..

and someone that work to mugen published 1800mah battery by mistake..

but they have done powerfull battery for htc desire hd.

this is my poor opinion

This might be a stupid question but I have an AT&T build streak currently running o2 2.1. Im tired of messing around with this thing to get it to go back to AT&T 1.6. My question is if I leave it on o2 2.1 will i get the update notification to 2.2 from o2 when released and if so could I upgrade it or would it lock my phone down to o2 not allowing me to use my at&t sim.
